Hello Walker,

Thanks for setting me straight...can you give me a book and page reference for this info.; so I can highlight it in my book for furture reference ?

Hello Tom,

I think what you suggest makes sense...But I still do not understand why Erfurt continued to mill the front sight notch, especially if they lost the right to make LP-08's. It does not seem to make manufacturing-sense, in my opinion...

Could if be possible that Erfurt might have had a receiver-parts sub-contract with DWM; so if DWM needed more receivers, Erfurt could just pull them out of their own inventory with only a moment's notice ? (And yes; this is just sheer speculation on my part...)

Regards,
