My first K-32 was one of the ones Allem cut down trap barrels rehung them etc etc etc and made 28" skeet barrels . I however had a K-80 Unsingle for trap and a 32" set of Vandalia barrels for trap doubles .

When I got the gun I picked out some K-32 refinished wood I liked and shot it that way a few months . Then swapped a friend for some more K-32 wood with a Allem made adjustable comb . I later swapped that wood back to the same guy for some K-80 Bavarian grade wood with the medium monte carlo . When the K-80 wood got on that gun my skeet class almost overnight went from B to AA/AAA and my trap class went from C/B to A/AA and 21-25 yards .

I shot that gun with the K-80 wood for a number of years and to be honest I've never had a skeet or trap gun shoot as well for me . But then I shot that gun at targets exclusively the entire time .

Default K32s

And I thought trap shooters were insatiable with gun tampering. There is no limit to what competitors will do for one more target. My old K32 is as it left Ulm am Donau except for 2 Edwards recoil reducers, some leather glued to the buttplate, and some red model paint where the ivory fell out of the front sight. Love that gun. Just got too heavy for the field any more. Still my go to skeet gun.

You used recoil reducers and I failed to mention I had Allem port all three sets of barrels for the K-32 . After about a year the ported 12 gauge barrels were of no consequence as I shot 20 gauge in the 12 gauge and doubles skeet events .
