Lahti stock attachment

DavidJayUden · 04-21-2015, 10:42 AM

So as to not further clog up the for sale post, or to further upset the handlers, let's start anew. What is the difference between the Lahti and the P08 attachment lug? I don't have my Lahti handy to look at, but as I recall they outwardly appear similar.

The groove/notch for the lock is in a different place. Also, IIRC, the dimensions of the "T" are slightly different. I posted a pic some time back of the Lahti & Luger lugs -

I've never seen a Lahti stock so I have no idea if it used a pushbutton or swinging cam or what...

From this photo the only difference I can see is that location of the detent groove for the locking cam.
Will the P08 stock fit if a second groove is machined into the Lahti?

Fitting is important, but if the gun is modified as David has suggested, I can't see why the P.08 stock wouldn't be functional... but it would also be federal felony in the USA...

unless pre-registered with BATFE as a short barreled rifle (SBR), and the $200.00 tax had been prepaid. Just sayin'...

I have a 12" barrel that is attached to the receiver and only needs the toggle bolt to make the attachment. Would I need the fed license to shoot it?

If it's a pistol that's not on the BATFE exception list, it's generally not legal to put a stock on it. To escape the "short barreled" part, you could have a 16" barrel. This is how the regulation is dealt with in the case of a modern-created or modified pistol with a stock--like a Luger Carbine made from a P.08.

I have removed the commercial 30 luger barrel assembly (the barrel in the bottom of photo) from the commercial lower part of the gun. I also have a 9mm barrel with a .22 cal insert barrel which I can install by just inserting the toggle bolt. I have the 12" barrel installed on the commercial lower in the photo. Is it legal to shoot any and all of these attachments on the commercial lower?

H:
Not certain what you are asking but that gun is legit as a pistol with any of those barrels, that's not an issue with the BATF, but it is verboten with a shoulder stock.
Part of the old 1934 Gun Control Act, but does not necessarily make sense.

Shoot to your heart's content, just do not attach a stock.
