If they were selling the item as it is shown above... they will wait a LONG time for BATFE approval.
This stock is OBVIOUSLY NOT a vintage item... and does not belong on a military artillery Luger. It is a novelty item made up by some gunsmith/machinist for a Luger owner who didn't know any better. It would be a good prop in a movie. If you want to shoot with this stock (or a stock like it) attached to a Luger (and you live in the USA), you will have to pay the $200 tax to the BATFE ahead of time for construction of a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) as defined in the National Firearms Act of 1934. It would be a good prop in a movie, but not on the range without the tax stamp. This is just my opinion, but after 50 years of looking at and studying Lugers and their accessories... dealing with ATF, and being a former gunsmith and hobby home machinist, I would bet money on my thesis...
