It is a legal grey area Pete... I know in the past that mere possession of an artillery, navy, or carbine stock AND possession of a stock-lugged Luger that is not a match to the item would get you in serious trouble... As Ron stated, you better have one corresponding pistol for each stock that you own if you intend to stay out of trouble... no extra stocks or no extra Lugers....
The act of attaching any stock to a non-corresponding Luger (or any non-exempt handgun) is what is termed as "making or manufacturing" a short barreled rifle (SBR) in violation of the NFA. You can only do this IF and only IF you have registered the gun with the ATF and paid the $200 making tax and have received approval from the ATF.
If you own ONLY 4 inch standard type Lugers that happened to have a stock lug... and you buy any type of stock that would attach to them, you have, in the eyes of the ATF, "constructive intent" to violate the NFA... Actually attaching the stock to any of your standard 4 inch Lugers is a DIRECT violation of the NFA.
