K-80 shotguns manufactured after 1990 will already have the coil-style sear springs. Metal Refinishing: Re-blueing is desirable when your receiver and/or barrel show the signs of wear. Any rust or pitting should be taken care of before it takes its toll on the function or value of your gun.

We inspect, clean and lubricate all parts when the gun is re-assembled. Minor repairs or replacements are included in the base price.

Your looking for a gun built after 1964 if don't want to have to roll the dice, As for what serial number range that would be, I haven't a clue (read I always ask for a photo of the stockless receiver to be sure of what parts are in the gun, and to see what has been K-80 upgraded as well). Also to point out, an all true K parts guns can be upgraded to all K-80 upgraded parts.

The cost of this is around $1800, which will include a new trigger guard as well so you can install a K-80 stock as well (so you don't have the gap between the back of the trigger guard and stock). Bottom line, the 1964 plus years K-32 receivers and a K-80 receiver only differences are the heat treating that the K-80 receivers get, and the engraving on the sides. You can update such receivers to K-80 standards with just parts, minus the receiver heat treating that only the K-80 receiver will have. No, I never got an answer to my question.

I do remember reading an internet post or something on a Krieghoff dealer's website that explained it, but I can't locate that info. The question is 'What is the serial number of a K-32 below which the guns are not suitable for convenient repair and updating to modern specs.' I would also like to know the particulars of why the early guns are unacceptable for heavy use. I seem to remember that these serial numbers are in the 4000 range, but am not sure. Was this what you were looking for?

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE K80 AND K32 by Mike Young There isn't a day that goes by that fellow shooters don't call and ask the question: 'What is the difference between the K-80 and the K-32' In this column, I will try to explain, without getting to technical, the main differences. First, we must understand the relationship between the two models. The Krieghoff K-32 was a redesigned, improved version of the Remington M-32. It was manufactured by Krieghoff and imported into the United States by Hal du Pont.

Hal established a network of dealers throughout the United States who sold the shotgun for over 20 years. In the early 1980s Krieghoff redesigned the K-32 and the K-80 was the result. One of the first design changes and improvements made by Krieghoff was the hardness of the receiver. The K-32 was machined from a solid piece of quality German steel, but never hardened. K-80s are hardened by a 'case hardening' process that leaves a thin layer of hardened material around the entire receiver. The next design change was the outward appearance of the receiver and iron.

The K-32s, with a few exceptions, had a blued finish. The K-80s standard finish is an electrolysis nickel finish.

Other changes were also made to the appearance of the K-80: engraving patterns on the receiver, trigger guard reshaped (contoured and extended rearward to a radius point), and an enlarged top lever. Perhaps the biggest design change was the trigger.

K-32 triggers were made with a very large sweep rearward and the trigger 'shoe' was thin. The K-80 trigger shoe was designed with a curved radius, allowing the shooter;s trigger finger to fit comfortably on the trigger. The K-80 trigger shoe, once redesigned, permitted for trigger adjustment forward and rearward by 1/8' in each direction.

Both the K-32 and K-80 have the ability to select which barrel, top or bottom, the shooter wishes to fire first. The barrel selector on the K-80 can be locked, the K-32 cannot. Additional internal design changes were made to the K-80 from the original K-32. The K-80 hammers have gone through various changes. The very first K-80s had 'soft' hammers, and in an effort to perfect the hammers, Krieghoff experimented with approximately four different hammer designs. They have settled on the current hammers which will accept both pull hammer as well as double release triggers in every gun manufactured, Sear springs in the K-32 and older K-80s were of a 'clothes pin' wire spring that would collapse when the trigger was pulled. Many shooters were reporting broken sears springs while 'on the line'.

In order to alleviate the broken sear spring problems, Krieghoff redesigned the sear and sear spring system around Serial Number 21500. Coil springs are now utilized instead of the sear spring system, and have been much more reliable. K-32s as well as older K-80s, serial numbers prior to 21500, can be retrofit with the new sear spring system. K-32 were manufactured with the ejectors (ejects the spent shell) held in place on the barrel by a visible screw in the center of the ejector. The design of the K-80 ejector eliminated the small screw The K-80 ejector is held in place on the barrel by a ball bearing and spring underneath the ejector. The most distinguishing differences between the K-32 and K-80 stocks are as follows: K-32 stocks were available in varying shades of red, unlike the K-80 stocks.

K-32 stocks were available in two 'styles'- trap and skeet - and did not have palm swells. K-80 stocks are available in many 'styles'- Monte Carlo high/low, Monte Carlo with adjustable comb, sporting clays, and skeet. For the comfort of the shooter, both left and right side palm swells were added, and 'thickness' was added to the comb. K-32 barrels are available with two rib configurations: a low rib (skeet) and a high rib (Vandalia) (trap); both 8mm in width. K-80 barrels are available with three rib configurations (8mm, tapered flat, tapered step) and four lengths (28', 30', 32', 34'). Factory choke tubes are available in all barrels now, whereas choke tubes were not available in the K-32 barrels directly from the factory, but were installed later by Briley. In summary, the K-80 is a newer, redesigned version of the K-32, that over the years has evolved to accommodate the needs and demands of shooters for today's competitive clay target sports.

I would also like to know the particulars of why the early guns are unacceptable for heavy use.

I seem to remember that these serial numbers are in the 4000 range, but am not sure. Even if you find the list of serial numbers, how can you be sure it is accurate.

There have been many changes and improvements to the K-32 and K-80 over time. While records of serial numbers and date of production are available, I not sure if anyone accurately found a serial number break that you are looking for.

What specific changes are you looking to incorporate? I do remember reading that K-32 below the 5000 numbers have a softer receiver, in comparison to the higher numbers. However, if you are looking for a K-32 to upgrade it maybe more worthwhile to look for a k-80 in today's gun market. A K-32 with upgraded k-80 parts is still a K-32. If you have a specific gun and serial number in mind, you could address your question to 'Ask Alan' on the UK website of Krieghoff.

I have been to the mountaintop but forgot to bring up the subject. I have a gun in the hopper up there and may go back to pick it up sometime soon.

I will bring up the subject at that time if the opportunity presents itself. Our visit was very entertaining, included a VIP tour of the workshops. We lucked out in one important way. The 'display guns' were still at San Antonio so some were replaced with Dieter's and Mrs. Krieghoff's personal guns.

Serial De Videoget Gratis. K's highly engraved blue K-20 was especially elegant. Yes, we did leave the few odd fingerprints. The last time I shot with Dieter and Mrs. Forrest Gump Suite Alan Silvestri Pdf Editor. Krieghoff, they were both shooting very standard appearing K-80s.
