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.
