Not sure what I have here

Well.......I had to do it. I just can't leave stuff alone....heh.

Barrel came off without a hitch, no twisting, bending, collapseing, or tweeking. I know I still have a long way to go, headspacing and barrel clocking. To me this is fun (till things go wrong....haha)

Here are some pics:









I ended up buying the 9mm 4" barrel from Numrich, probely get it next week sometime.

I took out the front sight post. The barrel I am ordering does not come with one. I was wondering if someone here could measure their front sight post. I want to make sure the one I have was not altered. It dosen't look like it, but it would be nice to know the measurement. Mine measures .276 (english)

if it were mine, I would keep that barrel but remove the sweated-on front sight and turn down the muzzle very slightly to mount an original Luger band + base...and of course a blade

This is a very good idea postino. I could just make the band myself. Either leave or add the raised area for the front post and cut the dove tails. Then silversolder it on. I think the artelliary and navy have a taller rise where the dove tail is cut (because of the longer barrel) but I'm not sure. It would be nice to have someones worn out barrel but I don't think this is possible I tried searching for artillary barrels and they seem non-existant.

Can anyone post a picture of an artillery Luger barrel band and front post. Or better yet give me some measurements.......diameter, distance from bottom of band to top of rise and top of post.

Thanks for all you comments and suggestions. Your a pretty cool bunch of guys here. Some of the forums I have been to it seems like everybody has a stick up their butt. Thanks again!

Wow...the guy in the Krieghoff forum thinks exactly the opposite...

I have an arty barrel in the basement...If you can wait while I shower (working 10/6 for the last 6 weeks) I'll take some measurements...

Here's what I got -

Band dia = .596"
Band length = .680"
Base Width = .255"
Base length at top = .460"
Base setback from muzzle = .050"
Total height from bottom of band to top flat = .783"

IIRC, there are 3 Luger front sight blades, different heights...I don't know if LugerDoc has all 3, but I'm sure he must have at least one...
