Scully Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 A long shot I know ( I've seen the two on GT, but would prefer a 'true' Sporter ) but if anyone has one of these tucked away in a cabinet which doesn't see much use, or you know of same, I'd be interested.

Junkyard Dog Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 From memory they only did trap / skeet / field models... May be wrong but never ever seen a sporter and have had a few over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Some lovely models on American forums,will give you a idea of what to look out for. Lots of special editions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Saw a minter in Malmo about 18 months ago. I would have bought it - very decent price - but it had just been sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be wrong but never ever seen a sporter and have had a few over the years. I think you're right; it's possibly the Field model which doesn't have the raised rib. I may have to settle for a 'sporterised' Trap model; the gun in general seems to be as rare as rocking horse doodah. Some lovely models on American forums,will give you a idea of what to look out for. Lots of special editions too. Yes, there are. The only thing I don't like about American shotguns is the tradition of chequering the blanks on boxlocks; I just don't like it. Saw a minter in Malmo about 18 months ago. I would have bought it - very decent price - but it had just been sold. Good to know; will contact them in case the buyer trades it in. Thanks.

figgy Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Scully there are 4 of them listed on GunTrader. The Kreighoff K32 is a similar gun before they re designed the action internals into the K80 Edited April 24, 2016 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Many thanks Figgy; have seen those . There are only 3 as one of the 4 is the same gun listed twice, but at a different price for some reason. What I didn't know until you gave me the heads up, is that there is also 1 K32 listed. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Kreighoff bought the 3200 design from what I've read. Made some improvements and called it the K32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDS Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Kreighoff bought the Remington 32 design ,turned it into the K32 ,and it is still going though now revised as the K80.... not the 3200 , a later model gun If thinking of buying a 3200 , do your research and make sure you have one of the later guns with factory revisions The revisions were done to stop the stock cracking and trigger tang bending Edited April 25, 2016 by TDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
