http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486523211 If one was to buy something like this and attach a factory made wooden holster/shoulder stock, is this in need of a SBR stamp/permit or since it was mfg for such not?? State law of Pa. as far as restrictions go

    All pre war and war time FN High Powers (GP-35) with serial numbers below 47,000 have been excluded from the National Firearms Act for many years. As long as the shoulder stock is original, or an acceptable copy, they are un restricted, as are certain post war commercial pistols which are slotted and have a factory flat board holster, or the Odin International duplicate.

    State laws are all over the place on these things and I don't know if PA exempts Curio and Relics are not.

    Got this off the net. These are the BATF federal regs. Don't know anything about the Penn state gun laws? In respect to H-P's with shoulder stocks.

    I don't know how a Belgian pre-war shoulder stock can be identified though? Many have been made over the years by both FN, and the makers of repo's. All that I have seen, have been a leather holster attached to a wooden board. That had a metal fitting that attached to the dovetail, cut into the backstrap of the H-P.




    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 178.11. 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 178. They are still "firearms" as defined in 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44.

    Belgian, Pre-war mfd. Hi Power pistols, in cal. 9mm having tangent sights graduated to 500 meters, slotted for shoulder stock, having S/Ns of less than 47,000 without letter prefixes or suffixes and accompanied by original Belgian mfd. detachable wooden flat board type shoulder stocks.
