SARCO repro artillery rear sight issues!

[Vlim]

The original LP08 sight ladders had the same problem, the teeth of the sight blade would strip off and allow the sight to jump around. When I still shot my shooter Artillery, I used a tie wrap to keep the sight from bouncing around.

I think it is a basic construction error that existed in the original ones as well. Perhaps DWM and Erfurt hardened the parts a bit better, but in the end, they too wore off.

Hi Gerben, well, my recent Luger project for one of our forum members has officially come to an end! I just couldn't solve the "hopping" rear sight issue no matter how stiff of slider spring I put in? I gave Rick some options and he decided to pass on the project being we had no cure in sight at this point, and I agreed! It is truly a shame as the Luger works like a dream! Soooo, the artillery stuff will come off and go into the ,"don't touch me" bin for now. And the above 1920 will now become a 9MM of some sort? I will however, probably limit my projects in the future as well, as this one was a big hit in finances as the repro sights and barrels, are very expensive as well as being junk! But as in 100 time before, I will someday reingage when I have good parts or corrective ideas in going forward... Right now, all I have is a fresh dose of humility and some very expensive junk! Best to all, til.....lat'r.....GT...
