Let me get back to you about spares, bearing in mind that here in UK you might have to buy another rifle to get a magazine and any spares you might need. As they are Section 58 this is not a big deal. A couple of people I know here bought two, one to shoot and one to cannibalise if needed. The only accessory for the Model of 1889 is the muzzle cover - Kranks are said to have them, but a check right now showed that his is a fallacy. Slings are easy to find, and are shared with the Model 1900 and the K11 - nobody will really notice if you put one on your rifle that has come from a K31....
