Curious about how the law considers

a luger with a short barrel, lets say 4", 6" or what ever artillery style lugers would have. Once the stock is added to a luger is it considered a short barrel rifle or something of that nature that would require a special license to shoot it.

I was at a gun range today and was asked that exact question by someone that was at the range whom I did not know. I bought an aftermarket shoulder stock (artillery style) and put on my 1916 - 4" barrel luger. I shoot it at that range all the time, but I never have shot it before with the shoulder stock on it. I was just curious just how much different it shot with and without the stock.

I really didn't know how to answer that question properly, so I just took it off and shot it regular until I did a little research about that subject. I didn't think I was doing anything to get in trouble, but I didn't know.

Also with carbine style lugers with short barrel lengths or any other style luger out there that would run into a situation of this matter?

thanks
