Artillery Rear Sight

Hi Lonnie, I'm not sure I understand what your issue is. There is supposed to be a small clearance (see photo). Regards, Norm

Hi Norm, the rear sight on my other artillery's fits the same as yours, with a slight elevation, but on this one it is about three times as high. Probably of no consequence but I would like to correct this if possible. I might add that I know just enough about working on Luger's as to be dangerous.

. I can replace many parts but I can also just as easily screw something up.

Thanks.

Hi Jerry, If this Artillery is really a DWM 1914 (quite rare, by the way), it's possible that the ramp profile, and slide, differ from later models. I don't know if anyone has done a study of this, I've looked at the front sight, and that is different from later guns. Regards, Norm
