3d printed is the way to go with those clips, people ask way too much for them

Beautiful! One of my biggest regrets with my collection is not securing a K31 back when were selling for a 1/3 of the current rate.
What sort of group sizes are you getting with the diopter model? I assume you're shooting GP11?

Haven't taken the diopter out yet, next weekend I will though. Currently shooting S&B. 400 rounds for about $1.50 after taxes and shipping. I will probably pick up some GP11 soon but really I will be looking at reloading my S&B Brass at some point.

How do you feel the 1911 carbine shoots compared to your K31? I have a schmidt rubin 1911 that is quite large and have seen the carbine versions for a good price and was contemplating swapping them out just for ease of use but have heard the 1911 carbine got replaced with the K31 precisely because of issues with accuracy, etc.

The rifles are more accurate than I am but physically the distance between sights is bigger on the K31 compared to my K11 which could affect your accuracy.

Damn, I might have to post my Swiss guns. You've got me feeling left out

Love the collection! I also have a couple K31’s … one in walnut and the other in beech. Have a K11 and a 96/11 that was my previous neighbours grandfathers service rifle.
Can’t recommend them enough.

Just a bit of a swiss rifle collection. Top to bottom:
1941 dated K31. Basically unissued with W&F diopter sights. When I got it, it didn't have any front sight inserts but that was no problem after 20 minutes playing around with the 3D printer.
1936 dated K31. Definitely more beat up than the 41. Shoots beautifully as expected.
K11. Converted from 1905 Calvary Carbine
3D printed charger clips which work great in the K31 but don't feed my K11.
M70 Alpenflage jacket in case you wished you had more pockets.
