Is it legal to outfit a C96 Mauser Broomhandle pistol with a reproduction stock? My understanding is that the C96 is exempt from the purview of the NFA when the "original" stock is attached. Is that accurate and, if so, how does ATF define "original"?.... Does it need to be serialized to the pistol, is a repro fine so long as it mirrors the original design vice an AR-type stock modified to mount to the C96?
There are lots of conflicting views with little to no solid, recent evidence. I have an opportunity to buy a C96 without stock, but I want to add a reproduction stock as they are cool. However, I want to avoid marring the pistol with NFA engravings if a reproduction stock would make the weapon an SBR.
Please only weigh in with meaningful comments, supporting documentation, and facts. (I know folks like to provide lots of suppositions, opinions, and hearsay).
