Jerry, we are talking about two different things and we are both factually correct. In speaking of the original REASON for adding stock lugs to ALL Lugers I said "Since they started adding the stock lugs to all Lugers after the LP08 was accepted and just before LP08 production was begun, it seems much more likely to me that the stock lug was put on all Lugers so that an LP08 could be made on any frame. Also, so that any Luger out in the field could use a stock if it was required."

In speaking about USE of the stock lug AFTER it was added to all frames you said "The machining process for the frame required a place to hold onto and position the piece. Thus you find the stock lug was the handy place to accomplish this.

Both statements are correct. The "myth" is that the original REASON for adding the stock lug to all frames was because of the need for a way to hold the frame.
