1917 DWM Luger, Artillery style xx62e

I probably should add a nuance of explanation to my former statement. It is not the owning of a stock by itself that is illegal, it is the possession of a stock without having a correct corresponding Luger if you also own any Luger(s) for which the stock is not correct. It is the improper combination of stock and gun that is illegal, not the stock per se. You have to have a gun that is correct for the stock to qualify for the exemption if you own other Lugers that do not qualify…period.

Ron, sorry, I agree you have to have the correct stock to put on the correct Luger, but saying I can't have a navy stock because I don't own a navy is weird to me.

Is this still true if the non-correct Luger has no stock lug--meaning that it could not be physically combined? I'd think this would not support a claim of constructive intent, and be legal.
