Clarification on shoulder-stocked Browning High Powers...

Read the ATF list carefully, because not all of these pistols that CAN be equipped with a shoulder stock are exempted...

Here is the relevant portion of the BATF letter on such things:

Therefore, any Luger or Browning Hi-Power pistol which would be removed from the purview of the NFA if equipped with an original shoulder stock, would also not be subject to the NFA is equipped with a reproduction shoulder stock which either duplicates or closely approximates the dimensions and configuration of the original stock.

It must be pointed out that should one of the subject reproduction stocks be attached to any handgun which has not been specifically removed from the purview of the NFA with an original stock, the combination would be subject to all of the registration and transfer provisions of the NFA.
