Hats off to Kreighoff for allowing a peek inside. Well done 👍🏻

The best I can figure, I have about three quarters of a million rounds fired through Krieghoff shotguns. Function and performance were always exceptional. Thank you for this tour of where they begin their lives.

Fabulous tour of the Krieghoff factory. I knew Krieghoff was high quality, but didnt appreciate how much work and detail goes into making this exceptional gun. Thanks to Lloyd, John, Wolfgang and everyone at the factory for the amazing insight into the making of a legend

Man I didn’t think I wanted a fancy shotgun until I saw this

"....It is stunning, you'll have your Head blown off by the quality, the precision and the level of the details that goes into these guns". As you rightly put it at the beginning of the video, it is all this and more. Look forward to part 2.

Great video! I amazed by how well your guide knew the building process. Also the amount of flex a barrel could do during the straitening process.

Hats off to Lloyd for the great videos , thank you for your time and work

Now I understand why they cost so much compared to other guns but the time and quality is ten times better. Excellent Craftsmanship

LP, Excellent tour video. I've had my K-80 Parcours for just over 2 years. I really enjoyed and appreciate getting to see the process that makes the gun. Thanks for the effort in production.

I cannot wait to sit down and give this video the attention it deserves.

Wolfie is an absolute diamond! Good job guys

Just beginning to see why shotguns can be so damned expensive even before getting into engraving. Looking forward to episode 2. Thanks for sharing this with us Mr. P.

Awesome detail and relaxed video. Brilliant so far Lloydy!

Awesome! Love my K80! Can't wait for 2 & 3! Thanks!

Very interesting and great video showing the precision detail they put into make their guns. Can’t wait for part 2 & 3

Hi Lloyd. Almost got to the end off this video and what a cracking video and cannot wait for the next one, after recently buying a K80 myself it’s very interesting to see how there all made, cracking video 😊

@lloydyp Amazing job on the Factory tour video . One of the best factory tour videos I've seen

Thats why everyone should experience a factory visit. Simply the BEST. 🤩

Great. Well done. Look forward to part two.

Phenomenal video!!! Thank You!!!

Super job putting this video together, Wolfgang is a terrific spokesman. Great gun manufacturer's, great gun! Thanks for showing.

There is an old saying "there is a science to everything" and it surely applies here. Amazing workmanship...

This is the best gun production video that I've ever watched and reinforces the quality engineering from this gunmaker. You also got the emphasis perfectly right, on the product and not necessarily on the the presenter. That is a compliment BTW. Can't wait for further episodes.

Awesome video thanks nice to see behind the scenes of gun making

WOW! so glad I came across this channel. i love these high end guns , Ill never afford one but I love the craftsman ship that goes into them. Works of art in every respect.

Hi Lloyd That was the most informative and detailed video Now I know way there the price. As the workmanship is just to the next level That was just fantastic Lloyd So looking forward to the next part of the incredible journey Best video yet 👏👏

Awesome video. Top of the range production process. Masterpiece and art of manufacturing fine guns! Greetings from Poland!

Great video Lloyd. as you know it more than just another gun, K80s are superb in every sense.

Excellent Lloyd. There's a lot of manual content in the manufacture of the barrels. Hence the price probably, unlike the automotive world. Can't wait for the next video.

Brilliant! I always think of these quality guns as an oil painting. Sure you can buy a photocopy cheaper and it will look just as good but it’ll never be an original. Lots of folks like innovation but personally, I prefer time tested perfection. Congrats to them for taking a great design, sticking with it long enough to see what works and perfecting the details. 👍🏼👍🏼

Only 5mins in but this is looking superb, brilliant work. John North Yorkshire, England

It is interesting that Krieghoff shows so freely and openly many manufacturing details. Other manufacturers would never show their cards when it comes to their manufacturing processes. Recognition!

Perfect timing. Just received my Pro sporter back today after they fit the new 20 ga. barrel to my receiver. I was expecting to have to sight in both the.12 ga. original barrel and the new 20 but to my amazement they are both spot on. (They had worked on my 12 ga. rib too) I’m assuming they adjusted the 20 ga. rib based on my 12. Their tolerances are unbelievable. What an incredible Company and gun. This video proves why they are the absolute best manufacturer out their. Can’t wait for the next one and thank you for the videos.

Very cool to watch! 👍💪👍

Absolutely brilliant. This might be the best video I’ve ever watched, by far and away best ever on KZfaq. I wish I could buy a coffee table book based on this video. I live near the U.S. importer…I’m driving up to order one in a few weeks. Your fortuitous video release makes me wish I had upgraded to a K80 years ago. I don’t even care if I shooter better with it, as I’ll be happy just owning and shooting it!

Felicitaciones Lloyd siempre tan informativo tus documentales y sobre todo mostrando una de las mejores escopetas del mundo!! Gracias y saludos desde Chile

The heat distorting them point of aim of the second/cold barrel is really cool.

Excellent video. I was a dedicated Beretta shooter until I picked up a K-80 Parcours. I never dreamed I’d buy a “K” gun. The video confirms the quality and craftsmanship you get when you purchase one. And in the US you can get full factory service from Krieghoff gunsmiths at the big shoots. Hard to beat that.

Ive seen their work at several shops in Germany. Incredible work.

LIoyd, Thank you so much for this video- My K-80 32", 12 ga./ 20 ga. two barrel combo will arrive this month- can't wait to get my hands on a truly well engineered clay busting machine..

it brings me a deep joy... maybe one that cannot really be described.. to see my brothers and sisters enjoying the dreams of my youth... succeeding at what I had originally aimed my life at being.. and talking... ... about... the lessons i learned. Thank you for posting this video, there are only a few very very fine Gun makers.. on par with J.P. Purdy and sons... Holland and Holland... and similar... each time i see one of these shops i am taken back in time... to a much better place... a much better life... a deeper love of life... a place of love that will make a man fight for all that is good and lovely in creation.... . .... it is the heart of my will... the strange part is..... it was the love of life imparted on me from this trade, that guaranteed i would risk losing it all.... when perceiving a need to rise to the defense of all life from the rape of politicians. i dont know if this made any sense to anyone.... ... but thank you for posting your video... and cheers to the ones working there in the sunlight.

Krieghoff is the highest quality shotgun ever produced and also one of the most expensive. Many people aspire to own them. Kreighoff also uses the world’s top shotgun engravers such as G. Stoegner (aka G. Stogner) who has created 7 Krieghoff “Guns of the Year,” more than any engraver. Recently, a G. Stoegner gun sold for more than $100,000 US on the secondary market. The #2 Kreighoff engraver is Jana Schilling, whose 2009 Krieghoff Gun of the Year also sold for $110,000 US at Pacific Sporting Arms in February 2024 (call and ask them). Kreighoff shotguns are a good investment and store of value, like high end collectible cars - the better engravers almost always bring a financial premium when they are resold. Other top Krieghoff engravers are #3. Goeser, 4. Reich, 4. Nonn (tie), and 5. Creative Arts.

They have the perfect receiver for extra deep relief engraving with just about any style to the graphics on your receiver breath taking job with deep relief. But if I had the money for such gun I'd get a Perazzi in a heart beat. These two guns are tops. To many moving parts in the Kriegoff trigger. Thanks for this episode

Fantastic vid guys, I’m very impressed excellent quality. If I were 45 years younger I would buy one immediately 😎

thanks for sharing...

Another Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

WOW!. its been my dream for the longest time to own a Krieghoff trap gun. I know that this will never happen, but this video brings me just that little bit closer... metaphysically, THANKS! Subbed here

Very good video

Thanks you for share video

بسیار عالی ممنون از زحماتتون 🌹

Just wanted to totally agree the guy from K. who is your guide is down to earth and knowledgable, a lot more believable than a few of the obvious exec's in other video tours that should probably stay in the office.

Exelente video ¡¡👏👏

Great to see the progress and precision of krieghoff, I can imagine you had to wait a long time to get an invitation to see this. Hats off to you and it’s brilliant for our viewing pleasure. I could make room for one but my high tech s way prettier 😂😂

Great video, and maybe I just need to watch it again but I the bit I didn't get was watching the barrels being straightened after soldering, but they didn't appear to be attached too the receiver. It's a very impressive process. It would be good to get some commentary about how this compares to Perazzi or the custom built Barretta.

Das ist nicht nur Handwerk sondern Kunst !!!

It was a wonderful video and looking forward for part 2. Can we know when part 2 will be posted? I hope part 2 cover the different gage sizes 12-20-28-36 and the price of each and where are the dealers available overall the world! It is good for me and for others to know. Keep good work up and hope these types of manufacturers don’t close.

If you make the same exact product for 150 years, you can pretty much refine it to an infinite degree.

In addition, this Krieghoff brand is of German tradition. and at least the honor of speaking in German, you English believe that you have seen and done everything, it's still incredible

Proud owner of two K-80s and this video just reinforces what I already knew...that the Krieghoff K-80 is the finest clay breaking tool money can buy.

Impressive

the barrel straightening guy got some skills..

This made the price I paid for mine a lot more reasonable ;-)

Fan bloody tastic

Great video I own an older K-20 but it's every bit the mini Tank. Lol. I need to sell my P+V before I can jump into a K-80 Par.

Surprised they allow a Perazzi employee in for a look around!

Great video, now I know why a new barrel costs so much 😅

Great vlog, do you have a favourite out of the three factory visits?

I knew some of the Mortenson family in Rockford. Mr. Mortenson was a gunsmith who made custom long guns. His legacy apparently died with him. Does anyone know how to contact his survivors?

👌👏👏

Так заморачиваюсь со сведением стволов, поэтому такие и дорогие ружья!

Watched the every second of this, ( as I do all of your content) Given the passion you’ve expressed for your Perazzi High Tech, and the in depth tour of that process, it may be incumbent on you to define your choice between the two, the nuanced differences, why you switched from K to P and would you ever go back again? I’m interested because I’m considering a purchase myself…Thank you LP.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

👍🏻

So something like 100 hours of pure labour. Then add material costs and overhead, power costs, distribution, advertising. You're looking at a realistic cost of well over £10k per gun. Without taking in to account thw machinery investment because that's spread over probably hundreds of thousands of guns so only a few quid per gun. No idea what they retail at but you'd expect somewhere around £25k to £30k?

Great video and cool factory tour... but this has NOTHING on the Beretta factory... cant really compare them at all to be honest.

Хорошее производство

German Perfection ... Krieghoff

K guns are without a doubt the best enginnered guns out there, not the prettiest but out and out epic guns, so good to see them sticking to heritage- what i can't stand about beretta is they lost that and their factory is like an iphone workshop, too many IT sales and marekting people involved

Germany I love Germany.

Great video, but unfortunately would have to sell the house for one

I fell asleep watching this🫠

Hello, Krieghoff service department? Please pick up the phone, my K32 20 gauge barrel set isn't resetting the hammers...Hello? Voicemails Full? Hmmm...

Gegenseitige Bewunderung stinkt

Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Make me a Luger.
