Steve, Welcome to the forum.

Sorry for the news you've received, but it's important to be informed.

As Ron mentions, it is not legal to own a Luger and a non-appropriate (original or reproduction) stock. The ATF classifies this combination as a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) and this is considered a NFA Class III firearm which requires special registration and tax stamp transfers.

Artillery Lugers with Artillery Stocks (original or reproduction) and Navy Lugers with Navy Stocks (original or reproduction) and a few rarer combinations are specifically exempted from this through a curio and relic list published by the ATF.

Unfortunately the combination of this stock attached to any Luger would be a SBR. Some speculate that the possession of both objects constitutes "intent" just like owning full auto parts that would fit a AK47 you also owned.

Marc
