    This one might work as well. Sold out but it comes back from time to time.

    ENFIELD P 1914 P 1917 Front Sight Adjustment Tool Gunsmithing P 17 P 14 Pusher | eBay

    I have one for a Model of 1917 that is vary similar to the K-31 (have to check the 1911)

    The price was so good it was not worth my building one (I do that fiddly stuff) Free shipping when he has them.

    No photo is showing up. Is it an Elby tool? If so, while they make great front sight tools and I have a couple (for a Mosin and a Lee Enfield) none fit the G1911. My Mosin tool almost does but won’t quite fit over the front sight band. I did pick up a nut splitter as Pierre advises buy have been having a lot of trouble angling it correctly to work... But it’ll help in a couple months when I get my K31 back and have to do the same.

    And just to whisper in his ear, it would be great if Swissicon Products came out with front sight tools for the different Swiss rifles. *hint hint*

    LOL! I can take a hint, and............... the drawings are already done. Programming will be in early January. It's designed to do them all with one tool.

    I’ve gone back and forth about getting the diopter sights but I probably never will. When it comes to milsurp rifles I just prefer to shoot them with irons (sniper variants withstanding)...
