K-31 Sling

SwedeSteve · 03-07-2008, 05:14 PM

I am brand new to K-31's, and was wondering if there is a link, or photo that displays a correctly attached sling? Thanks

Hey Steve, I'm new too so I'm instead of starting a new thread I thought I'd throw my question on here. Hell, maybe you can answer it.

How do you adjust the front sight? There's no screw or anything. The only thing that I can think of is to tap on it but I didn't want to start going to town on it before asking around. Thanks.

We are AWESOME when it comes to answering even the most basic of questions. By the way, welcome to G&G my friend! North Cackalacky! I spent 3 LOOOOONG years there as a guest of Uncle Sam...

It would appear appear, I am missing apiece of hardware! The "ring" on the front of the sling!

Mooseman684 · 03-07-2008, 11:07 PM

SwedeSteve · 03-08-2008, 12:33 AM

Mooseman684 · 03-08-2008, 12:38 AM

Hi Swede,
Just took a couple of happy snaps of my k31 and uploaded to photobucket.

Top end goes through loop and comes back over the top of strap, bottom goes through and around under the strap.

Hope these work

There is a special tool for the front sight, neverseen it work and dont have one so cant help more

SwedeSteve · 03-08-2008, 07:32 PM

Farmer- Thanks again. I found pictures and instructions on 2 different sites, so I finally got it right!

Poster- There is a front sight tool! They are hard to find, and expensive! I have read that it can be punch-drifted carefully.
There are many kinds of tools, and I have a pic, but can't post pics for some reason. Go to SWISSDAGGER and scroll down on the left nav bar to front sight adjusters.

Roger on the sling!
As to the front sight - I used a drift punch, carefully! The slot is angled, but works just like a dove tail.

NRAJOE · 03-09-2008, 01:02 PM

Buy the Swiss K31 front sight adjuster like I did on ebay...

Great addition to your K31 implements...works great...

SwedeSteve · 03-09-2008, 04:57 PM

Thanks for the pic Joe! Swissdagger sells them, but they are in Switzerland!!!

NRAJOE · 03-10-2008, 05:08 PM

Thats who I got it from on ebay....

SwedeSteve · 03-10-2008, 10:43 PM

Well, I didn't find one Joe, so I guess I'll have to add that to my daily search.
