P04 help please:

[9x19]

Hi Cirelaw,

I am not certain why two versions of the front sight are shown on Pg.2 of the blueprints. That caused me some confusion. "kleinst" translates as "midget" or "sub-miniature" and the other sight is obviously the "normal" one fitted to most lugers.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the reason for the mini version?

Regards,

Dave

Perhaps it just means "shorter" in this instance; there were multiple height front sights for targeting the luger.

On my drawings(may be different from above" the "normal" sight is 7mm, the Kleinstmass sight is 6.7mm, and the "grossmass" sight is 7.3mm Tall.
