I bought a new 32” KM4 from Mike at Kelbrook back in the day. An excellent gun and well fitted too - his trademark small Monte Carlo. It weighed iro 8lb 4oz and the barrels were around 1550g. I sold it back to them a few years later and got considerably more than I had paid for it. Prices for...

If you google ‘Krieghoff stock measurements’ or similar you can find various charts provided by certain US retailers (eg DuPont) that list all the different Krieghoff stocks and their various measurements including cast and whether they did RH/LH etc. I’ve just found one from DuPont Krieghoff...

All sorted, thanks to Daz W.

I’m looking for 1 or 2 Beretta Optima HP Flush fit Steel (not titanium) chokes; Anything between 1/4 and 5/8 considered. Beretta or Teague. Thanks in advance.

Thanks; I was hoping somebody could remember the finer details.

I recall somebody (maybe Clayshooting magazine?) once running a sporting shoot at Wylie valley and supplying mandatory 21g (probably Comp X) shells to all the competitors. My memory says the scores weren’t far below those shot with standard 28g shells. Some of the comments from certain ‘top’...

I had a 3800 Trap choked by Nigel Teague many years ago. He left 12 and 16 thou in the barrels. Effectively 1/4 and 3/8. It would kill virtually anything - if I pointed it in the right place. I remember once winning a shoot-off at a local charity shoot where the targets were ridiculous. The 2...

I remember Steve L running a few ‘extreme’ shoots a while back. I went to one (mid week) and it was very well attended. The targets were ‘serious’. I started ‘competing‘ at Barbary back in the John King days and everybody shot 80% -which seemed fairly pointless to me…..

All sorted thanks to Freeshot.

A few years back I bought a bigger cabinet and told local Firearms about it. It was in an upstairs bedroom and bolted to a wooden floor and a stone wall. They sent a very substantial female police person to check it. She put her very, very substantial rear against my cabinet and wiggled….The...

That looks promising; thank you. PM on way.

Thanks. I saw those, but it’s the drop at heel I need.

He usually lists stuff on his website; and there’s nothing suitable at the moment. I’ve also checked the websites of most of the major U.K. dealers.

I’m looking for an old school, Krieghoff no. 3 Sporting stock (K 80). Anybody got one kicking around please ? Factory measurements were 1 5/8”, 2” at rear of monte, and 2 5/8” at heel. 41/51/66 mm. Ideally with RH cast. Adjustable comb an advantage, but not a necessity. It’s an experiment -...

Just watched part 3 of your Krieghoff factory tour series on You tube. Thank you for taking the time and for making such a superb collection of videos. They are really first class and both entertaining and educational.
