Has BATF ever made up its collective mind as to just what is the "firearm" in the case of a Luger?

At one point they said the receiver was the "firearm" because the barrel and receiver could fire even when separated from the grip piece. Then someone told them that the receiver usually did not have the whole serial number, but the grip piece did. Last I heard it was still up in the air, but most dealers record the number on the grip piece.

Meanwhile, they let Ruger number the receiver on their .22 auto pistol, since Ruger said stamping the number on the grip frame would bend it.

Confusion, anyone?
