Hi Rick,
What you described is a FrankenLuger. I saw this one recently listed on Gunbroker I beleive. It's only a shooter. It has a 16" barrel so it will be legal according to BATF. Anything shorter is considered a short barrel rifle and is illegal. Artillery, Navy and carbines originally issued/sold with a stock are exempt from this law.
Original Luger carbines have shorter barrels (11 3/4") and the forearm is connected to the front of the frame, not the barrel. The rear sight is connected to the rear of the barrel in the same location as the Artillery.
Here is a real one; Not mine. I stole the picture from the forum.
