Good shooting. As an aside where do you get your targets/do you have a PDF handy for printing. I can never find good targets for open sight shooting.
I also have K31 and find the sight nice but that rear sight is a very small notch! Mine shoots to the right consistently (2-3" @50m) so my next range visit will see me trying to adjust that front sight. Which is surprising as the front sight is staked so I'm assuming an armorer once upon a time sighed it in.
Anyone have one of the front sight adjusters for a K31? Otherwise it's a hammer and brass punch/drift.

Reading the manual for the K31 online It seems the aim point within 200m was intended to be dead on and them beyond was centre of mass aim point (with projectile hitting higher) if I recall correctly.
