How could it be a barrel from the 60's or 70's if his grandfather brought it back that way in WWII. Also I have a letter from the atf (they made a bunch of copies for a local gunshop last year), and it states that all c96 mausers, lugers, and inglis highpowers are exempt from needing a tax stamp for the shoulder stock. Because they have been grandfathered in under the law.
