thor,

In order for Scard to use the resulting "artillery Luger" with a stock legally, it would have to have been a replacement frame from a genuine Artillery Luger...

If it is only to be used as a long barreled pistol that looks like an artillery, then a stock lug isn't even necessary... The ideal situation would be for Sarco to hand pick a frame with a serial number that was reliably known to be within recorded Artillery Luger production. Then and only then would the resulting "artillery" Luger be considered Legal with a stock...

If he can get Sarco to cooperate, then he could build his FrankenArtilleryLuger to be legal for a stock, and save the existing grip frame that has had the stock lug shaved off for use in building a shooter with any barrel length of his choice including a BABY... (how long has Mr. Clark had your Luger now ? [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Another consideration is whether or not the Luger as it is now is all matching numbers... reworking or restoration of the stock lug would then have some meaning with regard to it's value... less than an unaltered Artillery, but more than just a parts gun made from the parts of different Lugers.

Whether it is 'worth it" or not is purely a personal decision...
