Bought Navy ? about front sight

kro · 12-23-2013, 01:30 PM

Thanks for the help. I don't plan on shooting it So I won't know how it will group. How do you think this will effect value? I'm in it for less than $1,800 so I hope I did ok. All numbers match except for the right grip. I looked online and the front sight on there now looks like what is called an early sight. Any idea where I could find the correct sight and how hard is it to install?

Hi Ken, There is good news and bad news! The bad news is that Navy front sight blades are different from those found on P08 Lugers, and are almost impossible to find. Unlike the P08 blades, they are shorter, 5mm as opposed to 5.5mm, and only partially serrated (see photos). The good news is that very few folks know the difference, so you might as well replace yours with a P08 blade, which will look less obvious.
Regards, Norm

How hard are they to replace?
