It bears notice that substantially reworked guns cease to qualify as Curios and Relics, and become subject to the NFA SBR registration provisions. In other words, a replica of the Luger carbine requires a $200 stamp for legal attachment of the shoulder stock.

Most modern carbine replicas, including those made by John Martz, have barrels of 16-inches or longer thus eliminating them from SBR restrictions and the $200 stamp. They are legal with a stock attached.

That is true, but they no longer qualify as Curios and Relics.
