WWII production Swedish Lahti M40 and shoulder stock legality in Indiana?

[Mrmeseeks]

The Swedish Husqavarna M40 Lahti has been taken off the NFA so shoulder stocks with them are considered not a short barreled rifle, but is that the same in Indiana?

I'm confused(somewhat normal) why was it on the NFA in the first place? I look at this and see a pistol so putting a stock on it would make it a SBR, Am I wrong?

 

[Mrmeseeks]

as C&R removed from the NFA allows them to have a stock like LUGER WWII pistols unless I understand it wrong

 

[Mrmeseeks]

it can accept a stock readily, in other words it was made to have an attachable stock

 

[rkwhyte2]

Could be wrong but to me C&R or not adding a stock to a pistol is a SBR.

Might be best to just give the ATF a call.

 

[Mrmeseeks]

i know it is not an SBR federally I want to find out about our state, do are state laws follow what the ATF puts out or are they contrary? Calling the ATF won't help as they are not concerned with state law.

I've shot broomhandles with stocks both repro and original for a lot of years in a lot of places. It's not an issue if you are using a stock, provided the stock was originally designed to go on the pistol, even a reproduction stock. It's crossing the line if I made a wire folding stock and attached it to my broomhandle, but as long as the stock looks and works the way the originals were it's not considered NFA. Modern reproductions of broomhandles like the 20 shot 711 Navy arms aren't afforded the same protection. I think a test case would have to be tried to get an answer and I wouldn't want to be the first.

Not meaning to be out of line here, but did you try contacting someone at the state level?

 

[Mrmeseeks]

no I have not, as i think it would be the same as the broomhandles mentioned above, this off the NFA list and the stock was made for it not reproduction.
