Receiver Measurements

[John Sabato]

Despite the fact that different manufacturers dimensions vary slightly, the differences would HAVE to be within the acceptable TOLERANCE for product acceptance. These tolerances are spelled out on the Blueprint CD that I sell. A variation in dimensions which falls outside these tolerances would mostly likely have occured AFTER manufacture, and AFTER acceptance by the government.

Anyone interested in owning a copy of the Luger Blueprint CD can find the ordering instructions in the "sticky" post at the top of the for sale forum.

OK. I looked at the print for the receiver; it shows the chamber hood to base (other side) as 22.3mm = .877"...I don't know enough German to find the tolerance for that measurement...(There seems to be more than one tolerance on this part)...

But I miked my 5 receivers, and got these measurements...

comm, 86434: "A"--.872"; "B"--0.966"
1937, 3649: "A"--.885; "B"--.976" [S/42]
comm, 6782n: "A"--.878"; "B"--.972"
Finn?, 77z: "A"--.873"; "B"--.965"
1917, 8514: "A"--.874"; "B"--.970"

This only shows that this measurement is probably not the best to use for comparison...Although it is the easiest to measure...
