Default More weird "Navy" stuff

With your indulgence, I'll consider myself a Sophomore at Luger University, albeit, perhaps, first semester. I've tried very hard to pay attention in class, do as much homework and lab work as I could, etc. Perhaps I was out sick for the lecture...but do any other students recall if the "DWM-NAVY-POST-WAR-LUGER-CARBINE-WITH-STOCK" was ever covered in class? I seem to be missing my notes.

Well, danged if there aren't a couple of fine examples up for auction. https://www.proxibid.com/Firearms-Mi...ation/60283190 and https://www.proxibid.com/Firearms-Mi...ation/60283191

The online catalog pics aren't clear enough to detect any C/Ms--or much of anything else, for that matter. These contraptions would require SBR status, right?

I like the top one better, as it offers better outcomes if reconfigured, I think.

These contraptions would require SBR status, right? I would think it's a good question to ask, yes.
The first one at least seems to have a carbine sight forward of the chamber. One could easily replace the Navy sight with an Artillery toggle with no sight and end up with what could be considered a legitimate carbine?

I am not at all familiar with what the ATF considers a "Luger carbine"

Two rear sights?

Reminded me of the TV show "Fantasy Island".

How would that work? Can't see that as practical, one would obscure the other.

It doesn't work, you are correct that one obscures the other. The gun should not have that Navy rear toggle link, it should be plain without any sight.

The first one would likely pass "1902" muster if the redundant navy sight were removed; as it is it is just "silly". JMHO

The second would fall into the huge catch-all of "1920" luger carbine, again JMHO.

Some "20 carbines" have navy sights. Some others have artillery sights.
