Jim do you know of any documentation that states ATF's position on what constitutes the "receiver" on a Luger? or the case of the Ruger as related to the Luger? I have never seen anything but antecdotal stories about this... and knowing the facts would sure be helpful.

What you stated makes sense regarding the ability to fire a cartridge without the grip frame, but is not consistent with most other handguns... take the Colt 1911 type frame as an example...

If what you stated is truely their (ATF) position then there are a bunch of folks who use eBay to sell the top half of a Luger who are flirting with legal disaster...

...and filing or altering the serial number off the grip frame of a Luger would not then be a crime???
