Why are there so few Artillery Luger postings?

Thor,

It is my understanding that Tom Heller either has in stock, or can obtain reproduction Artillery sights to fit on those new barrels.

Let me caution everyone, that a barrel and a rear sight change DO NOT an Artillery Luger make...

They only make an Artillery Look-alike. If the basic receiver/frame was not originally an Artillery Luger, then it would be ILLEGAL to attach an Artillery Stock to the Look-alike Artillery... without FIRST paying the $200 tax and registering it with the ATF as a short barreled rifle under the National Firearms Act of 1934.

Only Original Artillery Lugers, (including ones that have been restored by replacement of the barrel) can be legally stocked without registration because of their C&R exemption from the NFA. Check the ATF website for details on which Lugers that were originally available with a stock are exempted by ATF from the NFA.
