Sadly, this was never the case. This was a rumor that was circulated among collectors that soon became "fact". It was a misinterpretation of a clause in the 1934 NFA Act. A correct, period or exact copy of a stock was always legal to have on the appropriate pistol.

Yes it was quite sad. I saw lugers (2) that had stock lugs ground off, unfortunately one was an art. Saw a few stocks where the tang had been removed (and I hope safely tucked away). I also had a frame that had a rebuilt stock lug on it, humm, I may still have that, don't remember trading it off..... LOL. Problem with being a pack rat.
