Odd Luger

[Johnny Peppers]

Is the shoulder stock numbered to the gun? If so you will not have a problem with BATF as the gun with the stock if made originally together then it is 100% collectable. This would fall into the same group as a Broomhandle Mauser with shoulder stock,Browning Hi-Power with original stock and Lugers with original stocks. An after market stock is not acceptable.

The Broomhandles, Lugers, and High Powers were specifically exempt by the BATF. A copy of any of those pistols fabricated by an individual is not, regardless of the serial number. John Martz made copies of the Luger carbine with a shoulder stock, but had to make the barrels 16" long to be legal.
Not all Lugers are legal with a shoulder stock, but specifically the WWI LP.08 (Artillery) and Navy, and the commercial Luger carbine are exempt as a group whether the stock serial number matches or not. On any of the mentioned Lugers a reproduction stock is also legal.

Yo, this here's a Canadian based forum, so BATF&E rules might not apply to Big Daddy! (^&*$ Yankees...)

Would you like for the (^&*$ Yankees...) to go away? I was ask by a moderator if I would participate in the German Service Pistols forum. There are plenty of forums if I am sullying your Canadian forum.

I are a &%R* Yank, so I'm insulting myself! Its just that Big Daddy seems to have left the building w/o anyone asking where HE lives!

Hey guys ....



I think there was a simple misunderstanding with satire that wasn't intended to offend anyone ...

For the record, our 10,000+ members come from 142 different countries/territories with almost 50% from various U.S. locations and a huge following from England and Australia as well.

......... and the Milsurps.Com host server is actually located in the great state of TEXAS ...

Anyway, hug time, but no going steady ...
