    I have a few technical and legal questions about Kahr Thompsons and detachable buttstocks. Anyone who might know please feel free to answer. I want to add a detachable buttstock to my Kahr Thompson, a TA5 'pistol' with a 10.5" barrel. Online I noticed 3 different metal adapter/conversion plates that are made to attach to the rear bottom frame of Thompsons in order to accommodate detachable buttstocks. And I don't want to do anything illegal. Here are my questions: Is the frame on my Kahr 1927 TA5 pistol aluminum (I believe the receiver is)? If it is aluminum, can these conversion/adapter plates still be installed? Does the milling and installation (if possible) of the adapter plate make the gun an SBR immediately or do the applicable regulations only apply if I attach a buttstock? (What I'm looking for here as an answer is do I need to apply and receive the required BATF stamps/waiting periods before any machining on the frame is done or can that be done before aquiring and installing a buttstock? If so, can I buy and own the buttstock and not attach it before getting the required BATF approval or does simply owning the buttstock mean I have an SBR?) There seems to be at least 3 different adapter plates available - one with two screw holes ("stamped?"), one with four holes ("milled?"), and one with six screw holes (probably milled). Is their a preference on these keeping in mind that my frame is aluminum? Finally, assuming one of the 3 adapter/conversion plates fits and will work on the possibly aluminum frame, will they all fit the new manufacture Kahr detachable buttstock and attaching hardware? And will the 1928? and other original detachable buttstocks with slide attaching hardware (usually found as 'surplus' covered in arsenal grease) also fit the new adapter plates? Does an old detachable buttstock work on new Kahr SBRs and vice versa? Last question: Why do some detachable buttstocks come with the crossbolt reinforcement and others do not? Is there a preference here? Thanks to whoever answer these questions, dokkerdam (I posted this earlier but was unable to paste the text directly and instead attached a Word file. This is exactly the same post and questions so the old one can be ignored - sorry)
