David,

You are correct. Possession of the components of a class III weapon constitutes intent according to the ATF. It doesn't matter if they are assembled together into a select fire weapon.

So, in our case, as Ron, Doug and others have confirmed, you must have the completely correct and appropriate Luger in order to have the specifically associated stock. The purpose of the exemption is to allow collectors to have historically correct examples of firearms.

Artillery model + Artillery Stock (original or reproduction) - OK
Navy model + Navy Stock (original or reproduction) - OK
There are a few other recently authorized combinations.

Possession of an Artillery stock without a complete Artillery Luger, but with any other Luger that has a stock lug - Not OK.

Possession of a Navy stock without a complete Navy Luger, but with any other Luger that has a stock lug - Not OK.

Etc...

There probably are stranger things in the regulations.

Marc
