Were Any 1902 Luger Carbine
manufactured or built into 9MM. I hear that some earlier barrels machined in to a 9m calibre. Tks Eric. Esq.

Yes. Some 1902 Carbines in 9mm were rebarreled or rebored (frequently advertised as "original", but they ain't!) however, I handled an original 9mm 1902 Carbine back in the 70's and one individual on this or Jan's forum owns an original.

Do You think they might have made custom orders?I say this as I saw in a luger add different options such as barrel lenghts?

I think you will find that that ad dates from the 1920s, not 1902.

Why would anyone put three sights on a gun when only two
are needed?The front sight and the rear sight in front of the chamber,or the front sight and the rear sight on the rear toggel link. That is all that is needed. Thanks George |

Hi Eric, The long barreled gun in the pictures you've posted has a two position Navy rear sight, not a fixed blade. Regards, Norm

I know what a 1920 carbine. I was mearly demonstrating that the rear site wasn't unique!! I'm sure the rear sight was intentional. Then who put it on? Apart from the sight what do you think of it.???

Eric
In that era there were many companies and gunsmiths putting together a myrid of lugers. They did not care what sight was on what. Unfortunately this persisted with a few of our US dealers. I would be surprised if a luger ever left Germany, at least from DWM, with two rear sights. If you will look in Kenyons you will see that 1920 carbine has one rear sight. There is absolutely no reason for two rear sights except to sell a luger regardless of correctness. Bill
