So a WWII trophy broom handle Mauser with a detachable shoulder stock has been variously illegal and legal, but is currently legal, by bureaucratic edict? Do I have that right?

NFA of 1934 and all the follow on infringements need to be torn down.

Is it illegal when the stock is separate? Does it become illegal only when the stock is attached?

Besides the obvious 2nd Amendment violation, there is also the issue as to whether Congress has the power to ban the possession of anything.

It clearly has the power to prevent something from crossing the border or state lines, but the mere possession of something is a matter of state authority under the Commerce Clause, not Federal authority.

“but is currently legal, by bureaucratic edict?”

My understanding (and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn) is that original, period stocks are legal, but putting on a repro sock is not? Firing it without a stock is ok, of course.
