The KRIEGHOFF Factory Tour
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 06. 2024
- We were invited out to the Krieghoff Factory for a full tour of how it works, how they build guns, and how they train new gunmakers to keep the art alive!
We look at everything from barrel making and engraving to how to make a gunstock the Krieghoff way, before running through what guns they actually produce here with a man who knows a bit about them - Ed Solomons
Enjoy!

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.
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 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, now I want a krieghoff thanks guys 🤣
Agree
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. ❤
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!
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 CZcams 👌 TGS for the win!
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
Agreed on the Blaser tour. You can make it happen, right? 🙂
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
"Nice to have nice things." It's such a nice thing to say.
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 👍
Another great video! I can’t wait for the Purdey Factory tour.
Could be the icing on the cake that one.
my god a dream trip!!! so awesome
A TGS video at its best.
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 👏🏻
Stunning
Also mind blown,
The thickness of a plastic bag is around 30 microns
bravoooo! please keep making more of such videos! Thank You and your Team! ❤❤❤
Appreciate this updated visit , still got an early K80 (1983) and love it to bits
That was absolutely awesome 👏
Really enjoyed watching the Factor tour !
I’ve been looking forward to this one coming out 👍
Great work TGS !
These guns are the top of the line thing where I live. Thanks for showing me the dream space!!
The factory tour videos are exceptional. Great watch guys 👊
Very enjoyable great to see you and Ed Woking together great combination
Beautiful guns. Thanks foe another great film
Perfect watch while waiting to leave for the shooting show 😁 see yas there!
Been waiting a long time for this and I have to say I am throughly impressed. Your video did not disappoint. Thank you !!!!!!
I love to see fine craftsmanship! How lovely these guns are.
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.
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. 👍🏼👍🏼
I’m just starting to get in to shooting and videos like these are perfect to show how good the spot is!
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!
Fantastic video. I get Krieghoff love. Yah! I want one..
So well made. Cheers!
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. ❤ 🇬🇧
Thanks for the best explanation I’ve seen of the differences between the different models.
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 🤔.
Excellent production
Very informative, thanks very much
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
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.
Nice hand shake between you and Ed near the end.
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.
It's a dream of mine to buy a new Krieghoff Shotgun. Thank You for showing me the finest shotguns made process.
Awesome Video
Excellent details on spec effects with your friend. More on Big Five rifles next time please.
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.😂.
“It’s an in line repeater” *click click*. And now I have to change my trousers.
Very awesome video
Very informative video.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.👍
Excellent, if you ever get over to Japan... oh man what a video Miroku plant would be
Best k video I have seen 👍
Great tour video. Always cool to see behind the scene of manufacturing. Always wonder why Krieghoff doesn’t chrome their barrels.
That's why I ordered the K80 ProTrap with DLC coating!
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
I haven't seen fingers like that since I watched ET!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
awesome video 😁🌿
You made very interesting video
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......
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.
Just knocking on you Johnny really enjoy your vids.
Purely detailed video ❤
Would it be possible to make a episode on the drilling guns?
Video makes my K80 all the more special.
Good watching Gents
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.
When I win the lotto, Krieghoff will beckon!
and now i want one...
Did someone like his glasses too? Any idea what are those?
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.
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.
If I ever win the lottery first thing I'm doing is buying a custom krieghoff.
That inline takedown rifle blew me away.
One day!
Hey guys loved the tour! Random question where did you get your shooting vests for the demo segment?
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.
Muy hermosa arma amigo saludos chebres
Live the videos, browning tour on the list at some point?
The Herman Goering Lugers represent the pinnacle of Kreighoff mfg !!!
Wouldn't it be great if a Damascus barrel maker from the 19th - early 20th century could see how it's done now?
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 .
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.
imagine having so much money you order a custom 70k Kreighoff like that just to see it in this video in production
💥
Hey what cameras do you use?
What extended choke were you using, brand and constriction?
👍🏻👍🏻
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 💕
Looked like I very enjoyable day
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.
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
Does anyone know what brand shooting vests these guys are wearing? Been looking for a grey(ish) one like that for ages.
Where is the outdoor shooting ground?
That was just for show. They get there barrels from barrels are us. Shotgun barrels rain barrels or beer barrels .We got the stuff.
I had the OG Remington 32. Is it taboo to talk about how Krieghoff acquired this design?
What name brand chokes did you have in these guns? You mentioned they were Titanium. They looked like Briley??
Krieghoff has their own branded titanium chokes.
Es una pena que no hagas los videos también al español.

Germany has many training / printing programs in their businesses
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.
Simson and New leader’s in 1930’s famous Parabellum Luger pistols❤
Gee Dad, it's a Remington....!
Had K80's didn't like the trigger pulls awful ,gone back to XS pro no probs love it.
