I also have K31 and find the sight nice but that rear sight is a very small notch!

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.

@Makros I've created a lot of different targets using a CAD program. The first target I posted is a rectangle the exact width of my Nickel scope post at 100 yds. The round targets match the width of my K31 foresight at 100 yds and are also the right dimension for the ring foresight I use when the diopter sight is fitted.
I can send you some pdf files if interested.

My foresight fortunately was not pegged and I was able to drift it the required amount. I was able to calculate how much I needed to move it so hammered it at home initially. I measured using a vernier the amount adjusted.

A few year ago I thought I would buy a genuine foresight adjuster. I gave up when I saw what people were paying for them. It also seemed that some canny Swiss sellers were trickle feeding them into Ebay and realising big prices. Likewise the diopter sights.

Yes, I was aware of short range long range aiming point with the rear sight. I have only shot reloads in mine so don't know how they shoot relative to the GP11 ammo for which the rear sight would be regulated for.
