original C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser, and the P08 "Luger" have the exemption from the ATF. Modern reproduction pistols do NOT have the exemption

The ATF has ruled that reproduction wood shoulder stocks for the above two pistols are still exempt.

**CORRECTION**

Certain Pre-WWII Browning High Power pistols also have the SBR/NFA exemption, but the number of pistols is much smaller, and the stock CANNOT be a reproduction.

From the NFA Guide:

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.

Also

Browning Hi power pistols, 9mm having tangent sights graduated to 500 meters, slotted for shoulder stock, having S/Ns less than T200,000 etched vertically on the right side of slide, barrel or frame and bearing crest of Emirates of Muscat & Oman, or mirror image of such crest, accompanied by original detachable wooden flat board shoulder stocks.
