If they catch you with an incorrect mismatch it could put your whole collection in legal limbo. That's as bad asking the IRS for an audlt.
On the flip side: Don't expect an ATF agent to know the difference, and that could be a good or a bad thing. He could play badass and have you prove what kind of stock you're using, try to find out if your Artillery Luger is a build or if it came like that from the factory and so on, but I think most of them will just shrug and go on. I had a long discussion with the ATF agent when I got my FFL, and his attitude regarding the C&Rs in general was that they have bigger fish to fry. I showed him my Navy build, and his take on it was that nobody would use it for criminal activites anyway, so why bother?

Of course, there's no guarantee, but I think most ATF agents have so much to do with more serious gun crime that they wouldn't look twice at a Luger with any stock. Just my 2 cents.
