Is it worded in such a way that navies with navy stocks and artillerys with artillery stocks are OK or is it more generalized?

Important info I did not know... "ignorance of the law is no excuse"

Gary, look up the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934, read until you find the term "Short Barreled Rifle (SBR)"... Then go to the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) website and see the list of the ONLY versions of pistols that can use a shoulder stock because they are Curios and Relics (C&R) and are exempted from the National Firearms Act.

Putting a shoulder stock on a pistol with less than a 16" barrel, (if it is not on the C&R list) is a federal offense (construction of a short barreled rifle). A $10,000 fine and a Ten Year all expenses paid vacation to a Federal "Resort" facility, and loss of your privilege to own firearms is a big price to pay for ignorance of the law.
