I'd help WWII bring back 16" barrel

Because they have been grandfathered in under the law.

Because Grandad simply DID NOT bring the gun in this configuration back from WW2. No gun ever left a Luger factory with a 16" barrel, regardless of family history or lore.
The 16" barrels were produced at the time I mentioned to create a carbine from a 4" barrelled Luger, not to ruin an original Artillery or Navy. It was the only way to create a Carbine cheaply and legally.,

Your mention of the ATF ruling, (which is not news to anybody on this forum), has no bearing on this case.
