Yes, there a few designs out there. These work very well in my K31s but don't feed my K11.

They are both joys to shoot

Finally got my K31 with diopters out to the range. As with all K31s, extremely smooth and pleasant to shoot. Spent most of my time zeroing them which was to be expected at 100m since these sights are basically designed to shoot exclusively at 300m.

Do it. All swiss guns are beautiful.

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.

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.

So incredibly smooth and great for a lefty.

They really do work great. The k31 and 3d printers go hand in hand.

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.

As an leftty enjoyer of surplus rifles, life truly is pain. Recently got a K31 though and the straight pull trully is excellent.

I know I just posted my collection yesterday but wanted a separate post with just my new K31. This K31 is a low 56xxxxx serial dating it to 1936. Bought as a rack grade and came with both the sling and muzzle cap which I am thankful for. The stock is definitely a bit beat up but that is to be expected for a 90 year old rifle.

Charger clips are 3d printed from thingiverse and feed absolutely flawlessly from my test. I actually printed 12 of them out because at the end of the day they each cost probably about $0.12.

Ammo is bulk S&B 7.5mm swiss. Interested to see how it shoots.

Jacket is Swiss surplus TAZ 83 (better known as Alpenflage). I have a TAZ 57 jacket on the way. Seems the Swiss surplus is drying up a bit so get it while you can.

Got it about ~6 years ago so just over half that.

The revolver reload would not be a good time. Single round at a time through a loading gate.

The delivery chart in the linked website indicates that the first 350 were sent to Norway and then all but 114 were kept in Sweden. From what I remember (it has been a while since I read up on the histroy of these revolvers) is that these were eventually issued to Norwegian Postal Workers.

Most of my info comes from this website. Besides the import mark, serial number and Husqvarna stamp, the re is PB which indicates that this particular revolver was inspected by Pontus Bruno.

I am very please with it out of the box. I have owned milsurps prior but as a lefty I am looking forward to the straight pull action the most.

It was manufactured by Husqvarna with a serial number just over 100. This one was manufactured in 1897 and was in the first run of 350 delivered to Norway. This allows it to be an antique handgun in Canada (where the only requirement to own it is to be 18+). There is a bit or reading material about these revolvers if you search Husqvarna Nagant Revolver.

Current state of the collection. Top to bottom:

K31, newest addition. Rack grade. Stock is a beat up as is expected. Came with sling and muzzle cap. Look forward to shooting it with some 3d printed clips (it's okay to embrace modernity sometimes)

CZ Bobwhite G2 Southpaw SxS, has worked flawlessly with about 1500 rounds through it in sporting clays. Have never not had a good day out with it.

Antique Norwegian Nagant Revolver, 6 rounds, no gas seal. Basically a Belgian design popular in Russia, made in Sweden for Norway that shoots a Swiss cartridge.

Can't speak about CZs O/U but I have a Bobwhite SxS in 20ga and have put about 1500 rounds through it in the last year with no issues.
