P.08 Front sight gauge.

Very interesting. I would assume plugging into toggle hole in disassembled mode being the only way (?)

But why did they measure the rear.... Isn't adjusting the front alone enough?

//// Two heights on rear. Trying to figure out what's in German's mind.... there must be a reason

I have to make this a quick response as I have to run BUT below you will find the German WWII version of the gauge that is inserted in the chamber.

Very nice feedback from all of you! I will post comments later tonight.

Hello all,
to see the manual and some pages related to the gauges you can refer to my web site: http://www.lugerlp08.com and then click on "gauges" in the main page.

For the rear gauge it is inserted in the rear toggle link after removing the pin.

Cheers,
Mauro

OK...Setting aside the one that is inserted in the chamber for the moment...

What exactly is this rear gauge (that you show) measuring??? Were there different rear sight heights??? Different toggles maybe???
