This lug removal is not of original German re-work, As Tom stated it was done here in the U.S. I also remember gun smiths in the 50's grinding off stock lugs, believing otherwise the gun would be illegal. Even today I hear sometimes of someone grinding off a lug and worse throwing away a shoulder lug attachment or the entire shoulder rig. Sadly a 6" naval holster/stock was tossed several years ago here where I live by a widow who didn't want too get in trouble. Seems prior too her husbands passing he told her he was concerned about the gun, and wanted no trouble for her.
