SteveM, if the stock is the original stock that has been reshaped, and there is any evidence to that being the case, then you should be on fairly steady legal ground in possessing this assortment of Luger components.

However, IMHO, if the wooden stock has been completely replaced by something that is a new creation, even if it still uses the original stock iron, then assembling the stock to pistol may be a violation of the National Firearms Act of 1934, and BATF rules, regarding stocked Lugers, and possession of the assembled pieces may constitute a federal felony. Be sure before you plunk down your money...

I would advise you to post some good photos of the stock here for some experienced opinions.

Just my $0.02 based on my decades of studying Lugers... so spend it wisely. Better safe than sorry.
