Help with Kreighoff K80 Value

[jimmyjazz]

Any help would be appreciated, can't find much info except price of new models.
A friend has this and wants to trade me but I have no idea of the actual value.
Original owner since 1989, he has the recoil pad not sure why he took it off.

K-80 Duraluminium (light weight)
Built in 1986
Cal. 12/76
28” Barrel length with SK / SK choke
With Briley Ultimate Ultralight Sub Gauge 6 tube set - 20, 28 and 410 tailor fitted to the barrels.

7500- 8000$ would be in the ball park . It is the least expensive model made

Thank you for confirming that that’s what I figured as well but I’ve had a hard time finding any used ones for sale.

Being a "lightweight" version I have to wonder if the 12ga barrels are carrier barrels?

 

[jimmyjazz]

What's a carrier barrel?

 

[Maritime Storm]

A barrel set designed for drop-in tubes only, if this is one then it would be a 3 gauge set, not a 4.

Saw one of those, more engraved I think, at a gun show some years back, fully laid out in its case all alone on a table but the vendor himself was nowhere to be found for the whole time I was there, and the guy next to him just shrugged his shoulders when I asked. I decided the owner was probably using it as a trojan horse to get a table as a vendor, never did find out the asking price.

Lots of information on. trap shooters .com. general thoughts are they are not built for extensive use such as a trap of skeet shooter would do. In the US at least they are no where near as valuable as the standard K80. If it is a carrier barrel, do not shoot 12 gauge in them.

 

[jimmyjazz]

Ahh Ok, well they are not carrier barrels.
The original owner used them for skeet for a few years before ordering the Briley Inserts.

I made the trade and looking forward to playing with it for a while.

Enjoy you're new shotgun. I have a standard K80 and love it.

Thanks I plan on it, I used to have a K32 about 20 years ago but had to sell it for family obligations.
Now my kids have grown so I can spend more on myself and not feel guilty.
