1917 DWM Luger, Artillery style xx62e

The BATFE defines this as 'constructive intent', i.e, owning all the parts necessary to 'construct' a class III item. This is a completely different issue from owning a stock.

I agree that owning an artillery stock is no crime. But owning a stock, and having it with, but not on, a non-artillery Luger COULD be, using the BATF rationale, a crime. And BATF rationale has NEVER been confused with common sense.

Dave, two totally diferent things here. Class 3 sear /unregistered machine gun compared to antique original parts/ accesories. This issue is so old already, John

And JTD, yes this issue is so old already, however short barreled rifles, short shotguns, supressors, etc. are viewed with the same scrutiny and suspicion under the GCA of 1933 as machine guns.

I will now back away from this thread, not because I feel less strongly about the points that I have tried to make, but because I simply have no skin in this game.
Carry on!
