Don, I am not surprized by the zero response...

I have no facts to back this, but my feeling is that any grinding of stock lugs took place in the USA, not overseas... based on ill-advised interpretations of the "law"

The "law" about the use of pistols with shoulderstocks would naturally be the National Firearms Act of 1934... I believe Lugers were legally imported into this country complete with Stock Lugs after that date by Stoeger... There may have even been some that thought that "customizing" their Luger by grinding off the stock lug and refinishing it would give it a smoother appearance...
