Craig, now that the auction is over, I will tell you that the "World's authority on Krieghoffs" has shared an old message that is full of omissions and errors. The truth is that the barrels on the auction gun were K-80 barrels and the gun was very nice, and all original but sold for more money than this bottom feeder would pay, considering that I have a few at home left over from my days as an NSSA skeet shooter. I still have my doubts about whether Krieghoff is still replacing broken aluminum receivers at no cost. I would still like to have one of those Lightweight K-80s to play with. The auction was quite a hoot, and I should have bought way more than I did. I'm sure the internet buyers had a field day, this being their first opportunity to deal with Redding.

I had about talked myself into driving up Friday and preview . Now after the fact I’m glad I didn’t as I wouldn’t pay what was needed to buy what intrested me . The idea of going to Gettysburg Friday then Prospect Hall Saturday then possibly back to Gettysburg Sunday didn’t sound like fun .

Craig, do a mapquest to take you from one to another, then fill up on $4.75 gas and go for it. It's all in the same circle with your home.
