Hi
FYI. There is a very nice DWM toggle chain with all the pieces on ebay auctions. The pictures appear to be a Navy. Aldo35 |

GT - Ive had similar thoughts about making a custom target format sight slider to fit onto the machined slider rail of original luger navy toggle
seems like it should be somehow fixed at the 100 (closed) position and have windage only for durability and allow a blade / notch large enough to be actually usable by older eyes as well as younger , etc the two slider ramp notches could be locations to allow fastening with side set screws and would likely not require any changes to the slider rail itself anyway - I do have a spare original navy toggle asy - and I could loan to you awhile for your effort - perhaps offset loan value in trade for some rebarreling/other luger services or maybe for a few of the custom target sight asys when you have success - and then return when you are finished with the prototyping etc - would be a way for you to allocate funds to some other purchase I think this asy has a small amount of rust on the slider ears and otherwise is excellent orig blue etc probably the target package would need only only some sort of elevation adj front sight or swappable height front sight to have a complete set or - if you prefer - I would consider sale of the toggle asy to you for $500 with full insp return privilege thanks !!! and good luck with the projects Bill |

Got it today! And, it's in screamingly nice condition... going to be the basis for a few future projects ...also, a navy shooter when it's not sitting on the drafting table...

Cool, keep us updated on the progress! I just picked up a Navy barrel and rear toggle myself, so now I just have to figure out how that sight comes apart so I can refinish it.

I had thought about bidding on it, but if G.T. wants it, that is good enough for me....besides I think that it is going to get expensive before all is said and done.

Hi doc, and thanks for the consideration, although I like Navy sights all on their own... the reason I'm bidding on it is to examine the possibility of converting (no modifications to the toggle) the navy rear toggle piece so it will accept a target type sight slide assembly?? I need a benchmark piece, and this seems to be pretty decent...pictures aren't the best, but it looks correct... Anyway, I think it'll go high, but we'll see... with my luck it will match some ones serial number and then the sky is the limit!!!....

Yeah, you're probably right... I'll most likely end up with a couple of Navy rear toggles along the way...
