SDM,

One would suspect that Luger shooter guys have been using Mauser front sights for generations. They fit the dovetail, and the squarish profile is touched by the user for their specific needs.

Lugers can be mavericks as to POI. I have a nice 30 that is a high shooter, but a beater VOPO, shoots right to the point of aim. Of course, sight picture, and ammo comes into play as you well know.

Lots of folks, well a few maybe, used to remove the front sight and install a Marbles #27 gold bead front sight, then use a round file to convert the v notch on the toggle to a "u". I suspect the Marbles #27 is long gone with the Schwinn, but examples show up on ebay etc. Just something to ponder, and see if it works out etc........

G.T. has several front sights available for Luger guys. As I recall........and talk with him if so interested, my memory is shot; about heights and the profile. G.T. is the man for sights. New manufacture to old specs with some of his engineering prowess thrown in.

Yeah, tis a pleasure to have a Luger that shoots right to the point of aim.............tis fun stuff huh?..........

One can venture into adjustable rear sights on the luger toggle, but is a tough environment. A few here have mounted optics to Lugers over the years. I think Lonnie Z. had the best overall optics package, a small red dot on an arty barrel that would stand the racket..

One can consider carbide or diamond tooling to change the rear notch if needbe.
