Curious about how the law considers

[skeeter4206]

WOW! So if I was out there shooting an artillery or navy with a stock that wasn't serial numbered to that gun I would be ok, but not a 6" barreled luger that is not specifically classified as a navy or artillery, but comes from the factory already made (no re-manufacturing or altering of the gun) to have a stock attached to the grip.

Man! that would be an interesting court room case.

Criminal conduct

The Act makes certain conduct a criminal offense, in relation to engaging in business as a manufacturer, importer, or dealer with respect to (NFA)firearms without having registered or paid a Special Occupational Tax (SOT); receiving or possessing a firearm transferred to oneself in violation of the NFA; receiving or possessing a firearm made in violation of the NFA; receiving or possessing a firearm not registered to oneself in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record; transferring or making a firearm in violation of the NFA; or obliterating, removing, changing, or altering the serial number of the firearm.[18]

Now on this statement, cause I am in the mix of getting a navy luger. Does it need to be registered as a class III weapon although it is not fully auto. But once its got its stock added it considered a SBR. Or does the exemption that Ed refers to make it legal as is.

I never would have thought that this issue would have came up and me being charged as a felon just by putting on a stock that some of the lugers were already equipped to have.

Just this exact reason is another fine example of why its a great thing to be a member of a forum with so many knowledgeable folks.
