New Artillery Barrels and rear sights

John Sabato · 11-21-2001, 10:54 AM

the proper installation of an artillery barrel and rear sight is no guarantee that the gun was originally an artillery model that was modified after WW1 for 4" holster duty. The fact that the receiver does not have a date stamp or crest (Persian) makes it suspect that it is likely a commercial upper. Keep searching for documented genuine artillery parts to assemble, or buy a poor condition LP-08 and have it rebuilt, but stay out of trouble...

I agree with Kyrie that you document a request to ATF and abide by their decision before you build anything that could cost you your freedom. The high cost of purchasing a complete artillery model Luger pales in comparison to a jail sentence or the loss of your right to own a gun.
