Front Sight Adjustment Tools

regul · 06-19-2016, 10:16 PM

Yes, the left one has a very small Swiss Cross on on top near the blade pusher. I will try and get a photo of it tomorrow if I have time after work. The right one is unmarked and fits the slim taper barrels. ie. GRN & M2
I will also try and show the fit of each around the pistol barrel bands.
Thanks
Ed

This is a little different.

Gosh, fine tools like that take all the excitement (read: cussing and spitting) out of pushing sights.

Does the M23 tool also fit the 9mm Lugers?

Each tool is specific to a style of barrel band and sight block. A tool for the pencil tapered 7.65 mm barrels would not admit a larger barrel band from a P.08.

The M23 tool is good for Tikkakoski 9 mm barrels (see avatar). I have not tried it to other models.

I know. What I don't know is how different the barrel band of the M23 is from the one of a standard P.08.

Mario - I commend you on your restraint!

I have a 9mm x 120mm Tikkakoski [don't call it a 'Tikka'!] Luger barrel in front of me, with the 'square' sight blade. The front band measures .5990" or 15.22mm perpendicular to the blade. Vernier measurement, and the band tapers slightly so that is an aggregate measurement.

Interesting. I just measured my 2 Mauser P.08. .587 and .586. The inside of my P.08 sight pusher is .590.

Can I bother you to measure from the bottom of the barrel band to the beginning of the sight dovetail? In the P.08 it's around .611(hard to measure

).

The tool measures .618 from the bottom of the hole to the base of the pusher.
