When I decided I wanted to move up from a Remington 3200 to something else for my skeet and trap shooting I had an inkling to get a Perazzi . At the time the big ticket trap gun was the DB-81 and I thought one of those with Kolar AAA tubes would be good for both as I always liked a gun that shot high .

Well long story short John Allem offered me a brand new K-32 with Kolar AAA tubes and a pair of used K-80 trap barrels so that was the route I took .

Still may have to acquire a Perazzi of some type just so I can say I owned one for awhile !!!!

The "leftover" K-32s were spread around to several dealers. Kolar, Bingham and Parks, Southwest and a couple of others were selling them for $1900 to $2000 each. Some were cut down trap guns made into skeet guns and some were unmodified. I was considering buying one for skeet, but got caught up in the 3200 Remington frenzy when Matt Dryke won the Olympic Gold Medal shooting the 3200. It took years for me to buy my first K-32, for $775.
