again jmho -- if reading threads like this keeps just one luger collector or enthusiast from committing felony by federal + many state laws + ruining aspects of their + their families lives it is worth the read -
plus remember everything posted here is mostly opinions , some based on facts , some on personal opinions , + some on internet publishing [ ie. it must be true because i read it on the internet ] ! -
unless poster is a high level executive ATF compliance official + states ruling in writing on official document it is mostly all hearsay [ plus rulings can be changed at any times sometime by order + with no public or legislative hearings -
if in doubt of any law most knowledgeable people would pay a qualified lawyer to contact ATF anonymously for a determination -
better safe then sorry - ignorance of the law is never a valid excuse in court -
