Odd as it may seem, if an original full arty upper, i.e. barrel (with LP08 sights), relieved receiver and toggle train are mounted on the frame, WWI DWM or Erfurt, it becomes a mis-matched LP08 and would be legal with a stock. I seriously doubt that an incorrect toggle train would make much difference. The key item is that original barrel/receiver group that makes it legal. Even adding an aftermarket repro LP08 barrel with correct sights to a relieved receiver would make it OK. What the BATFE is looking for is original configuration. Just adding a 8" barrel without the tangent sight won't hack it.
