Hey guys, new to the forum here! You May see me post in several other areas of discussion soon. I’m looking at picking up a Swiss K11 action that has no stock, but all my recent internet search through google, eBay, forums, and other websites have failed to return anyone who has a K11 stock and stock parts. Can’t even find an sporter stocks either. Can anyone point me to a good lead? And Is it possible to put a K11 action in a stock destined for a K31
Thanks!

You will need the barrel bands. The K11 action you found should have an aluminum tube around the barrel. It fits between the stock and hand guard to keep contact off of the barrel. If it is missing you are probably going to have problems with barrel harmonics.

I recommend you look at the offerings of complete K11's at Simpsons and Edelweiss Arms.

Don't overlook the fact that in the K31 there is a big hole in the stock in front of the trigger guard.

And in the K11 there is a big hole in the stock about four inches in front of the trigger guard.

Holes are hard to move.

A 1911 (long) rifle stock can be shortened to fit a 1911 carbine (K11) barreled action. Requires considerable woodworking skill to fit the front band and collar neatly - and you'd still need a K11 handguard. Rear sling attachment will be visually wrong for K11. We've seen at least one example apparently done in-service by Swiss military establishment, with rear sling arrangement neatly revised (a tricky job for hand woodworking).
