Mathew, welcome to the forum. Actually ALL lugers after 1913 had stock lugs. However, that is not quite true, but for military that is true.

I have re-read your posting twice, but I am not sure what happened, however I am not a gunsmith, so it could be going over my head. Is it still happening now?

Many times a artillery 'top' / receiver gets put onto a frame (and it might be a pre-1913 frame if no stock lug or a commercial prior to that time)

Plus, many times it is just a longer barrel, is there an artillery sight on it?

Ed
