To best recollection, arties can be used with artie stocks, navies with navy; original or honest reproductions are OK. 16" might make it a rifle (I had thought it was 18"? A letter discussing the guidelines for this are in the technical info link here on site.

I'm in NY State and no "registration" of rifles is needed. If you're buying one new here, your dealer will do the background check and collect his transfer fee; same if buying here from out of state. A C&R license here is useless except for its power to achieve dealer discounts from suppliers--prob. still worth the $30 if you buy much at all.

Strictly speaking, a short-barreled rifle is own-able. Your state laws must not restrict it. It must have been transferred to you by a holder of the separate federal license that allows these special transfers. And you must pay a $200 one time tax per weapon.

As far as I know, homemade retrofit stocks would not be legal on a regular P.08 with standard military or commercial length barrel. I think the Luger Carbines are also grandfathered in on the ATF list, and maybe the early "Ideal Stock" originals.

This bogey keeps popping up, every once in a while.
