This mod is what Graybeards refer to as a "New York Cut". Seems that during the 1930s-40s, it was commonly believed that the 1934 law making machine guns and sawed off shotguns Title II weapons made pistols which could have a stock affixed likewise controlled.
Soooo, owners frequently and mistakenly ground off stock lugs and welded up stock slots. A real tragedy, but it happened a lot. I have seen many over the years.
