If the gun and stock are original (which they appear to be) then ATF has classified them as "curios and relics" and they are not subject to NFA restrictions (i.e. it is not an SBR). You cannot put a modern reproduction stock on the pistol. It has to be original.
when did they change this law? Previously the law was only the ones listed by serial number in the C&R book were legal to possess because they were registered in 68. All others were contriband if gun and stock were together.
Thats why you find a lot of them with the attachment metal missing.

SECTION III: Weapons Removed From The NFA As Collector's Items And Classified As Curios Or Relics Under The GCA
The Bureau has determined that by reason of the date of their manufacture, value, design and other characteristics, the following firearms are primarily collector's items and are not likely to be used as weapons and, therefore, are excluded from the provisions of the National Firearms Act. Further, the Bureau has determined that such firearms are also curios or relics as defined in 27 CFR 478.11. Thus, licensed collectors may acquire, hold, or dispose to them as curios or relics subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR Part 478. They are still "firearms" as defined in 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44.
