Love your style of factory tours over the more standard interview style of other channels. Your passion for this stuff is infectious. Thanks for the content.
What a great film Jonny, as a Krieghoff K80 Super Sport owner it's nice to see how they are made and how much attention to detail goes into probably one of the finest shotguns i've ever used or owned 👍
Perfect video length, beautiful camera work, depth of field, motion, light. Edit was great, good b roll and narration. Nothing to hate, everything to love. Great video. We need more like this. ❤
We do not have a shortage of gunmakers (in germany). The problem is that you normally not paid well enough so you have much fluctuation after the apprenticeship or 2/3 years after that. But a nice video, visited Krieghoff 3 times now in a 10 years - quite interesting how they developed.
Fascinating insight to the Krieghoff inner sanctum. Only briefly handled a Parcours some years ago and it felt too good so did not dwell on it given the price.😂.
Jonny you make 45 minutes fly by. What a pleasurable tour. Ed is a true wealth of knowledge, listening to him cover different points of fit and his explanation of why you need to pay attention to it is truly fascinating. Me being a novice he is answering questions that I didn’t know to ask. Just a suggestion, how about a Blazer factory tour. Same country I believe. Cheers from across the pond
Outstanding video!! I'm an accountant and love machinery and engineering. My youngest so is a rocket scientist. Needless to say we love guns and their operational aspects. On an unrelated matter, where did you to guys purchase your shotgun field vests? Thank you, Gregory S. Bernad
Having spent 30+ years in the Aerospace and Defence industry in manufacturing, I absolutely love this video. Its proper engineering stuff! Love it Johnny.
Brillaint as usual makes the recent purchase of my k80 all the more special and goes some way to explaining as to why these guns feel as special to shoot as they do. Hats off JC and Sasha 👏🏻
Ah, so that's where the indoors shooting short came from! The barrel construction is interesting. The K80's father, the K32 was cloned off the Remington 32, the ribs of which were milled integral to the barrel, more like Longthorne's method. Remington's first design with a brazed on rib was the 870 in 1950. So, I'm wondering how Krieghoff did the first K32's? A wonderful tour of a place I'll probably never get to see in person - thanks!
It's impossible for me to imagine this beautiful production being done with solar or wind-powered energy. Even simple everyday dinner cutlery requires smelted metal.
Miro el video porque me gusta la mecánica y los Alemanes saben lo que hacen. PERO NO ENTIENDO NADA DE LO QUE DICE. LOS QUE NO SABEMOS INGLES QUE HACEMOS? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!USTEDES TIENEN LA OBLIGACION DE PASARLO EN CASTELLANO.
Stupid question time Johnny. I live here in the US and trying to find a real and appropriate tweed shooting vest like you wear is almost impossible where I live. Can I please have the manufacturer and style of yours? Part of the issue is I am tall (as are you) 6'03" and ordering things online usually does not go well. Love the channel, and the work you do to keep shooting sports and hunting traditions alive in these times.
No, it started as a Remington 32, which is the year it was introduced. Killed by ww2, the Krieghoff was developed in concert with Hal DuPont, who brought it to America in lieu of his passion for it.
Wer einmal eine Krieghoff in den Händen gehalten hat, hat eigentlich nur noch zwei Fragen: Welche Wartezeit und wieviel kostet der Spaß. Was auch beeindruckend ist, sind die klaren Aussagen der Krieghoffmitarbeiter am Messestand, was ohne Probleme machbar ist oder was erst in der Konstruktionsabteilung zu abzuklären ist. Eben keine Verkäufer, sondern Mitarbeiter, die den langfristig zufriedenen Stammkunden im Auge haben.
I didn't expect to like this. I didn't expect to care. I think of Special K as too expensive for me. I really loved this. Their barrel production, It's amazing! I mean I didn't know some of these processes existed. Some of them I knew about but I didn't really think there were better ways being used. This is really cool. The silver solder, Basically the way they did the entire barrels including the alignment. All the little details. All of it. Fantastic. I used to think of them like I don't know new luxury cars. Expensive, classically pretty, probably well. Engineered... No heart, no soul, no human. I don't think that way now. And remember I'm an American. We don't have that German stereotype of cold German efficiency. We also were a major manufacturer, We still kind of are just in different things. So I guess what I'm saying is that's not the way I saw German guns, That's the way I looked at krieghoff, I won't do that anymore.
Great show guys. I hate engraving on guns and plain wood is good enough. Like the look of Krieghoffs, never held one. I treat them like tools and think engraving is a waste of time and $. Can you get a plain Gun? Happy Huntin.
Great videography and I love the gun maker tours but I still think there shotguns are overrated,servicing every year because of the overly complicated trigger mechanism,no chrome lined barrels and the cost of the thing they are the range rovers of the shotgun world and appeal to similar people.
My last year of international airline flying had a plan for a long layover in Munich with a train ride to Ulm for a factory tour.. however thanks to the COVID lockdowns my last year of my career was not to happen.. this was a great video that filled the gap..nice tour.. love my K-80! I always till people that if I don’t shoot good at least when I put my k gun on my shoulder I look good…
Love my K-80's- but really dislike laser checkered stocks, especially the K-80's. Wonderful guns though. Worth every penny. Even with pro-sporter rib- Ed's style of shooting still requires him to scrunch into the gun. Great vid, thanks.
I truly enjoyed it. Having fired some I can confess there's something completely unique about them. My kind of choice is the Parcours model since it more versatile. The Sporting mod is quite more heavier and to be honest about demands more attention. One spec that blows me off is non other than the trigger mechanism and feeling. Oh man what a feeling! It's like shooting a pistol or an airgun. Completely different than any other in the market. Perfect 👌 assembly. Beautiful shiny barells. Balanced through out the hole lenth. Top to bottom guns for a lifetime and more. Proven winners all over the 🌎. It's not a coincidence that high level athletes literally count on them for success. It's not the gun. It's the shooter that makes a difference. Well in this case there's an exception to the rule. Thumbs 👍 boys! You really make my day 💕
Wouldn’t it be great to have 25 barrels at the ready. Never shoot one barrel twice at a trap shoot. Like baseball now a 25 shot trap will take 3 plus hours. Good idea or great idea?
Yet again, an outstanding Video, as always! Where is that Shootingground located? since im from Germany, im looking for something like that. Sadly i dont really like the K80 shotguns. I dont know why, i stick to my Berettas,Perazzi and H&H
All that strength put into the mono block and barrel installation. Amazing the way the come apart when they detonate. Google some of the Trap shooting sites to see the pictures. Reloads? Bad factory shells? A 20 ga. in the barrel of a 12 ga.? Fatigued metal? Look at the pictures and you make the call. And BTW, I purchased my first Trap gun, a K32 with the "Red" colored wood, back in 1972. Have owned 3 different K-80's. So those pictures and stories never stopped me from shooting one but......
I hear Greg Wallace has stopped doing inside the factory. Why not apply for the role? ;) What a beautiful contrast to Beretta. Both experts in their field, both doing it their own way. Crafted with skill and love, without compromise.
Love all the hand fitting of the receiver and trigger group/action , although a little disappointed that Krieghoff does not make their barrels in-house but has them made to their specs . Also did Jonny say that the barrels inside were only highly polished not chrome lined ? Might be a deal breaker for me in regard to the barrels .
The production value of your channel is simply amazing. So is the content. Having watched so of the older content I’d even bet you have or had a voice coach. First class all the way. No idea what a channel like this pays but the quality is at least as good as anything on TV. 👍🏼👍🏼
Was at their door a few months ago, was greeted by a telephone and the lady on the other end said it was “impossible” to enter their building. I’m glad it is actually possible, maybe 🤔.
Love your style of factory tours over the more standard interview style of other channels. Your passion for this stuff is infectious. Thanks for the content.
I love the motion in your shots in this one, Sasha. Gives the whole thing energy to match the excitement of seeing these beautiful guns being made!
What a great film Jonny, as a Krieghoff K80 Super Sport owner it's nice to see how they are made and how much attention to detail goes into probably one of the finest shotguns i've ever used or owned 👍
Appreciate this updated visit , still got an early K80 (1983) and love it to bits
I just bought a brand new K-80 Gold Standard with a color case hardened receiver. I can't wait for the snow to melt and the trap club to open up...
Great video. That handshake made me chuckle 👋👈
Perfect watch while waiting to leave for the shooting show 😁 see yas there!
Perfect video length, beautiful camera work, depth of field, motion, light. Edit was great, good b roll and narration. Nothing to hate, everything to love. Great video. We need more like this. ❤

But a nice video, visited Krieghoff 3 times now in a 10 years - quite interesting how they developed.
Been waiting a long time for this and I have to say I am throughly impressed. Your video did not disappoint. Thank you !!!!!!
Fascinating insight to the Krieghoff inner sanctum. Only briefly handled a Parcours some years ago and it felt too good so did not dwell on it given the price.😂.
Awesome Video
Great, now I want a krieghoff thanks guys 🤣
Agree

Just a suggestion, how about a Blazer factory tour. Same country I believe.
Cheers from across the pond
Agreed on the Blaser tour. You can make it happen, right? 🙂
I haven't seen fingers like that since I watched ET!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Outstanding video!! I'm an accountant and love machinery and engineering. My youngest so is a rocket scientist. Needless to say we love guns and their operational aspects. On an unrelated matter, where did you to guys purchase your shotgun field vests?
Thank you, Gregory S. Bernad
Having spent 30+ years in the Aerospace and Defence industry in manufacturing, I absolutely love this video. Its proper engineering stuff! Love it Johnny.
By far the best K factory tour on TH-cam 👌 TGS for the win!
If I ever win the lottery first thing I'm doing is buying a custom krieghoff.
You made very interesting video
Stunning
Also mind blown,
The thickness of a plastic bag is around 30 microns
Brillaint as usual makes the recent purchase of my k80 all the more special and goes some way to explaining as to why these guns feel as special to shoot as they do. Hats off JC and Sasha 👏🏻
and now i want one...
They truly are the best shotgun, i luv mine. So many people around me problems with Beratta and Perazzi. Never a fault with a Krieghoff.
Another great video! I can’t wait for the Purdey Factory tour.
Could be the icing on the cake that one.
The Factory Tours are very interesting to watch, Quality videoing from Sasha, If you had 30k to spend what would you buy, A custom K80 or DT11.👍
That was absolutely awesome 👏
Really enjoyed watching the Factor tour !
I’ve been looking forward to this one coming out 👍
Great work TGS !
Love the factory tours, nice work guys. Would love to see say the ATA factory, we have seen what 12k plus gets you - what does 1200 actually get you.
Ah, so that's where the indoors shooting short came from!
The barrel construction is interesting. The K80's father, the K32 was cloned off the Remington 32, the ribs of which were milled integral to the barrel, more like Longthorne's method.

my god a dream trip!!! so awesome
It's impossible for me to imagine this beautiful production being done with solar or wind-powered energy. Even simple everyday dinner cutlery requires smelted metal.
Excellent, if you ever get over to Japan... oh man what a video Miroku plant would be
“It’s an in line repeater” *click click*. And now I have to change my trousers.
Great video 👍I own a Krighoff combi 12/222rem for many years and it's the rifle i use the most for roe, fox and hare when hunting with my Beagles.
Germany has many training / printing programs in their businesses
Krieghoff , literally 'War yard'

Try Orvis, I also think a couple of folk bring in Alan Payne clothing from the UK. Johnny quite often wears a Laksen waistcoat.
Google "Campbells of Beauly". They make tweed for the Royal family.
William Powell also ships quickly to the US. And they usually have a great selection. And they are great people.
Did someone like his glasses too? Any idea what are those?
"Nice to have nice things." It's such a nice thing to say.
👍🏻👍🏻
A TGS video at its best.
The K80 started life as the Remmington 3200 . Krieghoff bought the patent rights from Remmington ! The K80 is a far superior gun !
No, it started as a Remington 32, which is the year it was introduced. Killed by ww2, the Krieghoff was developed in concert with Hal DuPont, who brought it to America in lieu of his passion for it.
How long is forsing cone, is it same as VALMET from finland-> very short?

What extended choke were you using, brand and constriction?
I didn't expect to like this. I didn't expect to care. I think of Special K as too expensive for me. I really loved this.

Mine has 50k plus rounds with NO service, and NO malfunctions.
The bloody handshake killed me 😂
The secret tgs handshake is finally revealed?! 🤣
I was utterly fascinated through the entire production, then "it" happened.
I don't feel right at all.
YES, it was weird
Fantastic video. I get Krieghoff love. Yah! I want one..
The pinnacle of kraut engineering.........a 1932 Remington.
My last year of international airline flying had a plan for a long layover in Munich with a train ride to Ulm for a factory tour.. however thanks to the COVID lockdowns my last year of my career was not to happen.. this was a great video that filled the gap..nice tour.. love my K-80! I always till people that if I don’t shoot good at least when I put my k gun on my shoulder I look good…
Ps love the ford mustang in the parking lot
Wouldn't it be great if a Damascus barrel maker from the 19th - early 20th century could see how it's done now?
Just does not look as neat and organized as the Beretta factory setup.
Would it be possible to make a episode on the drilling guns?
imagine having so much money you order a custom 70k Kreighoff like that just to see it in this video in production
Excellent details on spec effects with your friend. More on Big Five rifles next time please.
Another great video. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but, to me, these guns are bloody ugly.
💥
Love my K-80's- but really dislike laser checkered stocks, especially the K-80's. Wonderful guns though. Worth every penny. Even with pro-sporter rib- Ed's style of shooting still requires him to scrunch into the gun. Great vid, thanks.
I truly enjoyed it.
Having fired some I can confess there's something completely unique about them.
My kind of choice is the Parcours model since it more versatile.
The Sporting mod is quite more heavier and to be honest about demands more attention.
One spec that blows me off is non other than the trigger mechanism and feeling.
Oh man what a feeling!
It's like shooting a pistol or an airgun.
Completely different than any other in the market.
Perfect 👌 assembly.
Beautiful shiny barells.
Balanced through out the hole lenth.
Top to bottom guns for a lifetime and more.
Proven winners all over the 🌎.
It's not a coincidence that high level athletes literally count on them for success.
It's not the gun.
It's the shooter that makes a difference.
Well in this case there's an exception to the rule.
Thumbs 👍 boys!
You really make my day 💕
bravoooo! please keep making more of such videos! Thank You and your Team! ❤❤❤
The factory tour videos are exceptional. Great watch guys 👊
Hey what cameras do you use?
These guns are the top of the line thing where I live. Thanks for showing me the dream space!!
Very new to the shooting game,I found this, very informative and very daunting, but I will march on and get better. Very informative tho
Wouldn’t it be great to have 25 barrels at the ready. Never shoot one barrel twice at a trap shoot. Like baseball now a 25 shot trap will take 3 plus hours. Good idea or great idea?
Very enjoyable great to see you and Ed Woking together great combination
What a factory! But is stocks only made from walnut? No rosewoods, quilted maple or other exotic hardwoods?
paying 10s of thousands for engraving is pretty wild. I get the looks but the price is no where near what it should be.
Why is it that I can't see any of your movies? All I get is a screen filled with lines..... :(
Very awesome video
Very informative video.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yet again, an outstanding Video, as always! Where is that Shootingground located? since im from Germany, im looking for something like that. Sadly i dont really like the K80 shotguns. I dont know why, i stick to my Berettas,Perazzi and H&H
I'd like to see more of the actual metal work. Too much talking and not enough machining footage.
Nice hand shake between you and Ed near the end.
All that strength put into the mono block and barrel installation. Amazing the way the come apart when they detonate. Google some of the Trap shooting sites to see the pictures. Reloads? Bad factory shells? A 20 ga. in the barrel of a 12 ga.? Fatigued metal? Look at the pictures and you make the call.

Es una pena que no hagas los videos también al español.
Somos 500 millones de hispanohablantes

THE GUN CHOSES THE WIZARD YOUNG MR COOPER, YOUR WIZARD MR ED WAS TELLING YOU THAT M.

Great tour video. Always cool to see behind the scene of manufacturing. Always wonder why Krieghoff doesn’t chrome their barrels.
Was at their door a few months ago, was greeted by a telephone and the lady on the other end said it was “impossible” to enter their building. I’m glad it is actually possible, maybe 🤔.
I had the OG Remington 32. Is it taboo to talk about how Krieghoff acquired this design?
It’s so good I put my name on it. Get it bought JC . Another great vid, good to see mr Solomons out and about and back at the K factory. ❤ 🇬🇧
Had K80's didn't like the trigger pulls awful ,gone back to XS pro no probs love it.
It's a dream of mine to buy a new Krieghoff Shotgun. Thank You for showing me the finest shotguns made process.
That was superb, you both bring a lot to the party, making a formidable presentation team.
The company is just down the road from me…… still more that I can afford but yes very nice
good ol german engineering
Does anyone know what brand shooting vests these guys are wearing? Been looking for a grey(ish) one like that for ages.
Ooooh baby I love the look of that pro sporter! I'm impressed with what looks like a very minimal recoil impulse from all models
That's why I ordered the K80 ProTrap with DLC coating!
That was just for show. They get there barrels from barrels are us. Shotgun barrels rain barrels or beer barrels .We got the stuff.
The Herman Goering Lugers represent the pinnacle of Kreighoff mfg !!!
Best k video I have seen 👍
Hey guys loved the tour! Random question where did you get your shooting vests for the demo segment?
Thanks for the best explanation I’ve seen of the differences between the different models.
In the USA we call it 'bluing.' Is that not the case in Europe/UK?
Yes
