I'm afraid that is just an inaccurate "story".

Many if not most of the "missing" lugs were removed in the US after the NFA of 1934, when shoulder stocks for pistols were made "illegal". Today that decision has been reversed, and use of a shoulder stock with artillery(8") lugers and Navy(6") lugers is ok, as long as the correct style and type of stock is used with each. The only 4" luger that is legal with a stock is the Finnish one with its rig.

There are a very few, specific Weimar era police use lugers that had the lug removed at the insistence of the French(IIRC), these are marked to the police in the region of Hesse; there may be scores of these in the US, but not thousands.
