    You mean "their" and not "there".

    I really wish you good luck on this, it's a beautiful shotgun. But the type of people who buy these would be seriously turned off by that crack for that price.

    I think there needs to be FAR more emphasis of the cracked stock. A small insert in the middle of the description of this quality & grade of shotgun is not sufficient. Buyers of this grade of gun will skip this one over until it has been repaired, which means restocked.

    "Please note there is a SMALL CRACK in the wood at the trigger guard screw". What I am looking at is more than just a small crack and a high end shotgun, it warrants professional repair, or IMO, a restock. That means sending it back to Krieghoff and having them do it because if it is not factory restocked you won't get the kind of money it is worth.

    thats no small crack, it may be small compared to the size of the gun, i would call that a break

    There are two pictures of the crack.....whatever the gun is worth to a person making an offer on it will be up to the owner of the gun if they accept it. I can't do anything other than show every inch of it and present whatever someone wants to pay to the person selling it.

    Say the repair costs $6000....they take that off the current asking price and offer and offer $15950....that is what I would expect to happen if someone were truly interested in the gun.

    That is obviously a very nice shotgun. Have you contacted Krieghoff for the actual cost of a replacement stock?

    Since the break in the stock extends through the checkering, you might want to rephrase your description of the checkering as well.

    Shame really.

    I believe that a factory re-stock will be more than $6,000.

    Out of my league. The stock crack shows up in several pictures, you did a good job of showing it. Pictures 17, 18, 37, 55,and 57. Unfortunately it's a big deal on a gun of this type.

    I wonder why it cracked. No more than the gun has been used, if it was just from shooting Krieghoff should stand good for it. A shotgun that expensive shouldn't crack a stock that easy. If it was dropped or other mishap okay, owners fault, but if it's just from being used Krieghoff would have to answer for that. $30,000 shotguns aren't worth spit if they don't hold up.

    What I see that would keep mew from bidding is, "No inspection. no return, no exchange". If I was paying that much I would want to inspect it.

    I can't wait to see the outcome of this story.

    Having a 20 year love affair with over priced shotguns, I can honestly say I don't have a clue what this will bring when the dust settles.

    I bet you field more interest than you expect on it!

    Does the African safari take place in the fall or spring?

    If you don't get any bids will you end it early or just let it run out and relist with a lower starting price?


    This is one of those ordeals that I have agreed to list for a set price, but I get one price if it doesn't sell and I get a higher price if it does sell. If there are no offers the owner has the choice to lower the price. I explained the penny auction and the appeal of doing that......I've also let them know we can get the stock repaired before they take a major loss on that. There are lots of paths we can go down on this thing before it's over.

    There are some really good stock guys out there that may be able to perform a miracle, I've seen some. Krieghoff will not warranty that stock.

    I don't have much to add, other than I sure would like to know how the hell the stock got cracked! Wow!
    My findings have been most buyers of a gun like this will buy new. Especially in a 12 gauge competition gun.
    12 gauge anythings just don't seem to hold value on the used market like sub gauge shotguns.
    Of course, I'm sure there are exceptions and I hope this is one of them.
    Best of luck,
    Ed

    There is a guy in Pennsylvania that does some beautiful repair and restoration work on high end guns. His name is Dewey Vicknair, you might contact him and get his opinion. It might save and make you a lot in the end.

    imo, and I am not an expert, but I would never buy a firearm with that in it. It would have to be reduced enough to restock the complete thing.and THEN get someone to buy it,.Sad to see.
