If it’s a real C-96 and an original C-96 stock, no tax stamp needed — just as with Lugers and HiPowers, if the gun and the stock are both bona fide original “stocked pistol” pieces from the original production periods, they are exempted from NFA as Curios & Relics deemed unlikely to be used in criminal activities. (This exemption is NOT automatic — ATF has individually and expressly exempted each of these models.)
This DOES NOT mean you can mill a stock slide into a P-08 or GP35 that didn’t have one, nor can you use a reproduction stock (ATF has gone back and forth on whether repro stocks count — last I checked, repro stocks are verboten), unless you register the pistol as a Short Barrelled Rifle.
But if it was built before WWII that way, and you have an original stock (or at least the metal bits – the wood can be replaced) for that model of pistol, you’re golden with a stocked, Title I pistol.
I don’t know about that first pick. Is the baby some sort of body armor? Either way the kid is toast in a gunfight unless its the cops doing the shooting.
So, Paul, parents who have kids too small to run away as fast as the parents shouldn’t be allowed to protect themselves with a pistol? Or maybe, only the parents NOT designated to carry their infants should be allowed to carry?
Because, you know, most defensive uses of firearms don’t end up involving any shots fired, and even if shots are fired by the defender, the odds are pretty good that the defender won’t get hit by incoming fire. . .
I seriously doubt dad there plans on squaring off against his mugger in the street at high noon for a quickdraw gunfight, a la Hollywood Westerns. . .

He is the big ass rock in the shoe of the Narrative. South Florida gun clubs put a stutter on the gun control rhetoric of racism.

Wonder if Dan Baumholds has his tax stamp for the stock on the C-96?

Photos once again confirm that EVERYONE has better guns than me. I’m jealous.

Shockingly good finger-off-the-trigger, across the board, too.
