Dirk, Over the years I have owned several LPO8 that had the barrel shortened the lenght of the front sight base to about 7&1/2"s and a fixed C96 broom front sight added. I suspect that this was the Depot's "quite & dirt" way of "fixing" a frozen adjustable fine tune front sight. I also had one, where the barrel length was cut down to only 4"s, which left a sighting radius of about 3 inches. The had to be the result of either a bulged barrel or some innane Versailles Tready regulation. TH
