    So those pistols become class 3 when you attach the stocks or is there an exemption?

    From BATF:

    If a person has a pistol and an attachable shoulder stock, does this constitute possession of an NFA firearm?

    Yes, unless the barrel of the pistol is at least 16 inches in length (and the overall length of the firearm with stock attached is at least 26 inches). However, certain stocked handguns, such as original semiautomatic Mauser “Broomhandles” and Lugers, have been removed from the purview of the NFA as collectors’ items.

    There's a whole bunch of stocked pistols listed specifically in "Section III" of the Curio and Relics list ATF-5300.11 (this is the stuff removed from NFA).
    Browning 1903, BHP, Colt 1905, etc etc etc. which are legal.

    Mawkie and Mustangs:

    The stock was given to me previously in the same haul. No, it doesn't fit; now I know why. I made a call and I'll be picking up the Canadian Hi-Power this week. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Like your style instead of selling the stock get another gun!

    Ah yes, the ubiquitous 1911 stock with plastic (?) mainspring housing.
    Gotta have the 16" barrel installed for that one!

    Looks like an older one with that latch so not surprising it's steel.
    I had one and never got the courage to shoot it when I saw the barrel pointed about 10-20 degrees off-centerline :)
