Luger stocks?

[John Sabato]

A reproduction stock meets the ATF criteria for C&R exempted guns... but the rules are strict. You can't use a Navy Stock with an Artillery Luger and vice-versa... (the Navy stock is shorter BTW)...

If you are going to pay the $200 tax for creating a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) out of a Luger with a barrel less than 16" and any shoulderstock that you want... you can do this... but you must have ATF approval in advance... to accumulate the necessary parts without approval amounts to "constructive intent" and will get you in hot water...

My advice if you follow this path is to contact the ATF FIRST!

Find the gun you want to use... send in your registration and tax fee and when you get the approved paperwork back, THEN acquire the stock.

If you come across a stock you can't live without before you are ready to file the paperwork and tax fee, keep yourself out of trouble by not having them in the same place... have it shipped to a brother or cousin or some other family member and don't bring the Luger into the same zipcode until the paperwork is FINAL.

Being anxious to try it out is no reason to get yourself in dutch with the Feds... It isn't work a federal felony conviction for violation of the National Firearms Act of 1934... Do it RIGHT and you won't be sorry.
