T front sight adjusting tool
 
I'm looking for a T front sight adjusting tool to complete my set of Artillery adjusting tools.

Can anyone help me?


Thanks a lot

Go to www.simpsonltd.com. He usually has some listed in his 'Acccessories Listing' section. He lists them for $65. Look also in Ebay. I have seen then there a few times.

Sorry about that. I gave you the right answer to the wrong question. After reading Hellers comments on the 'T' that he made further down the index I realized that you were asking for something else. The tool I thought that you asked about was the tool for the adjustible front sight of the artillery luger. I do not know where, at the moment, such a tool can be found. But you did remind me to get one for both my hunting artillery luger that I kill trees with and my serious deer hunting rifle. The front sight on both need some work.

Mauro, These are occasionally offered for sale on eBay, but

The only one I have ever seen outside of eBay was a photo sent to me by Patrick... as shown here - this one is a commercial Mauser device.


As BIG NORM suggests, one of the reputable Luger dealers may have one... Try Tom Heller or Ralph Shattuck...

Mauro - is this the tool you�´r looking for - it was made by Mauser - but doesn�´t work on an LP 08 which has a higher ramp. Patrick

Re: T front sight adjusting tool
 
Hey! maybe I was not so wrong after all. I bought an adjusting tool from Simpson simular to the one that Sabato pictured but it was not a T-bar. It was more like a screw driver. Since the one I bought was made of brass, I think that it would brake easily if too much torque was put on it. Simpson used to have one just like the one that I have that was made of the 's' word. But he ran out of them. I don't think that a stainless steal one would not break as easily as a brass one would.

I would like to find one for my 1917 artillery which has the dove tailed sight. The front sight seems to be way off and its difficult to adjust at the shooting range by using the old hammer and piece of hard wood routine. Patrick's picture is more like what I would want.

Norm, Good luck finding a real front sight pusher for any variation of non fine tune front sight. This was primarily a FACTORY used tool and might have found it's way down to the field armours, but it certainly was not general issue.

The tool that Iâ??m looking for is exactly the same in the Johnâ??s picture.

Iâ??m donâ??t know nothing about eBay, please let me know something about them.

I will try with Mr. Shattuck or Tom Heller.


John can I use this good photo in the book that Iâ??m writing about artillery luger.


Thanks a lot.

Thank you Patrick,

I'm looking for the tool showed in the John picture.


Please let me know if you know were I can found this rare tool.


Thanks a lot for the cooperation.


Mauro

Mauro, the photo was provided by Patrick
 
I think he scanned the tool in a standard paper scanner. Please check with him for permission to use it... I sure there will be no problem...
