Stupid Artillery stock question...
 

Is it legal to put a reproduction stock on an Artillery Luger?

There seems to be some debate on some of the other boards.

I believe that it's legal; last time I checked it was in the BATF list.

I've searched through the BATFE site for an hour but couldn't find any specific information.

I'm pretty sure it's legal too since I've seen a hundred + repro rigs done up with original Lugers (Arty and Navy). Just looking for some confirmation and, perhaps, documentation.

I believe it is legal so long as the stock board is original or a reproduction of the original. Homemade modified versions are a no-no.

Hmmm. I wonder why that is. The BATFE doesn't seem to know one thing from another. Odd lot, those government types...

Maybe I'm wrong but I think this answers your question.

"Our Firearms Classification Panel has examined your request and is their opinion that the above mentioned pistols equipped with currently made reproduction shoulder stocks which either duplicate or closely approximate the dimensions and configuration of the original stocks would also be primarily of interest to collectors and not likely be used as weapons. Therefore, any Luger or Browning Hi-Power pistol which would be removed from the purview of the NFA if equipped with an original shoulder stock, would also not be subject to the NFA is equipped with a reproduction shoulder stock which either duplicates or closely approximates the dimensions and configuration of the original stock."

Thanks a million Conny...:cheers:

No problem Steve. If you look under "General Information" on this site, the full letter from BATF in relation to shoulder stocks is there.

Conny, good going! :)
