I thought I understood the red tape you have to go through to obtain a NFA firearm...I spent 7 months jumping through the hoops to buy a Uzi submachine gun a few years back. Simpsons just sold a Mauser carbine Luger made in 1979 with a 12" barrel,....as its not an original 1900 or 1920 carbine, wouldn't it fall under the ATF regulations as a short-barreled rifle?
Beautiful Luger, though......it went for 8K.....too rich for my blood, I'm just waiting to hear that Dwight got it !!

I'm snowed/sleeted/iced in in Columbia SC today with nothing to do but surf the net......this item lasted a whole 2 hours before it sold!
