The 9th Circuit can still let Stewart stand if they want or send it back up to the SCOTUS and say, "Hang your Raich decision, here you go, rule on this one."

So, take it how you want it, but Stewart has not been decided before the SCOTUS...
If they attempt to let it stand, the government will immediately appeal it to the SC, and rule on it they will. The reason it was remanded "in light of" Raich was because the Court agreed with the cert petition which concluded:

Raich and the instant case have several features in
common. Both cases involve commodities that are
typically acquired through commercial transactions.
Congress has sought to eliminate the commercial mar-
kets in both marijuana and machineguns by enacting a
categorical ban on private transfer and possession of
the relevant items, rather than mandating a case-by-
case inquiry into the interstate commerce nexus of
particular acts of possession. And in each case, the
Ninth Circuit held that the statutory possession ban is
unconstitutional as applied to a discrete class of pur-
portedly non-commercial possession.

I know some will point out that there is not a categorical ban on private possession of machine guns, but there is if we are talking about private possession without a license. Also, there is not exactly a categorical ban on private possession of cannabis, considering that the federal government actually supplies it to 7 or 8 people, while banning all the rest from using it. (Search for "Irvin Rosenfeld" for example).
