Continuing on my never-ending quest to get a long barrel on my commercial P-08...
Clockwise from top left - I decided to shorten the FN Mauser M24/30 rear sight to more the length of the LP-08 Luger...Milled 3/8" off the front; cut the slots with a keyway cutter; milled the front to 3/8" width for my sight base; the completed shortened sight leaf/slider compared to an unmodified C96 sight; my rounded muzzle; the tool bits used for the taper and the muzzle contouring; and in the center, how the barrel looks now.
My grinding wheel didn't have a very good round corner, so I had to do a bit of filing/sanding to get the muzzle to look rounded...and I had to mill off a couple sight leaf numbers so the leaf wouldn't look too odd...also the sight base had to be recontoured so the shortened sight would slip in and be capable of elevating...
I'm trying to locate a receiver/barrel extension/slide (choose one) so I don't have to give up my 30 cal barrel...I'll make a couple calls tomorrow and see if I can scrape one up...
