Luger stocks, when did some become illegal

Technically it would be possible to put a navy on an artillery since the stock lugs and irons are identical (with slight hand fitting required in some cases as was necessary on originals). However, I am sure you have read enough posts on this subject to be aware that such a combination is illegal.

Stock lugs were introduced on the 1902 Carbine and the 1903/04 Navy (there is some evidence that lugs were incorporated on certain experimental versions of the Model 1900, but I do not know the particulars). The lug was eliminated on the 1908 Army military contract, but resurrected in late 1913 and remained a feature of Lugers from that date on.
