Service Check / Barrel Work / Trigger Services / Metal Refinishing / Scope Mounting / Woodwork and Refinishing Service:
We offer a wide range of services for all Krieghoff firearms, whether it is a minor repair, preventative maintenance, or complete refurbishing. We carry a complete line of parts to rebuild even the oldest of Krieghoff guns.
Location:
Our service department is located in Wrexham, North Wales, about 1.3/4 hours north west of Birmingham and 1 hour south west of Manchester, at 6 Coed Aben Road, Wrexham Industrial Estate, Wrexham LL13 9UH, which is just 10 minutes off the A483 Wrexham By-Pass.
Hours:
The workshop is open by appointment, Monday through Friday, from 7:00am-5:00pm. All guns sent to us should have an appointment made in advance by calling the service department at 01978 6600 01. Making an appointment enables us to schedule your service work efficiently, allowing the fastest possible turnaround time. In many cases we can get your gun back to you within the same week using TNT next day delivery service. When you send us your gun, the package should have a letter from you with it. The letter should be inside the package with the gun and include the following:
1) A description of the work needed (or of the problem you are experiencing).
2) Your street address and the full name, address and telephone number of the Registered Firearms Dealer who you would like the gun returning to..
3) Please note the current firearm regulations only allow us to return the gun to a registered firearms dealer. We will need a copy of your dealer's RFD prior to shipping.
4) A daytime phone number where you can be reached if we have questions about the service to your gun.
Packing:
Your gun should be sent in a protective case within a cardboard box. Proper packing material should be used to ensure that the gun cannot shake, rattle, or move around in the box at all. Make sure to insure each package for the full value of the gun. On return shipping, next day and Saturday delivery service are available at extra cost. A signature will be required when the gun is delivered. Please Note: If the receiving dealer signs to say that the gun was received in good condition we are not able to entertain any claims for damage in transit if such damage is discovered later. It is your responsibility to ensure that your dealer is aware of this.
NOTE: Remove all aerosol cans such as gun oil spray cans prior to shipping a gun. Aerosol cans fall under hazardous materials and although not illegal to ship, special labelling and handling of packages is required by law and charged by common carriers. If we find aerosol cans with any guns, we will remove them without further notification and without compensation prior to return shipping any guns.
Payment:
Payment is expected at the time service is rendered. We accept MasterCard and Visa and can also accept personal cheques received by us prior to the gun being shipped. No items are shipped until we receive payment in full.

Services Available:
Annual Service and Preventative Maintenance: This service includes checking the gun for headspace, overcock, proper tolerances of sears, ejectors and hammers and complete disassembly and replacement of springs as needed throughout the receiver and forend iron. All parts are inspected for wear and minor trigger and timing adjustments are made if needed. The gun is cleaned and lubed. The barrel is tightened to the actions when possible. Replacement of broken or badly worn parts is available, at additional cost. The K-80 Annual Service is £140.00, including VAT, plus return carriage and plus handling and insurance cost; The K-32 Annual Service is £155.00. Basic Service Check: A basic service check is normally done on a gun when it has been in use for less than 2 years, depending on how much it has been shot. The service includes removal of wood, inspection of all working parts for wear and proper timing, complete cleaning and lubrication of receiver, forend iron and barrel. Barrel Work: Krieghoff Service performs barrel service including replacing sights, removing dents, fitting barrels to your receiver and restamping of numbers. We also can perform point of impact adjustment. Trigger Services: We can adjust the weight of pull, pre-travel or creep, engagement, safety and selecting on your trigger. Factory specified trigger pull weight on K-80 trap and skeet guns is 3 3/4 lbs. for the bottom barrel and 4 pounds for top barrel. Sporting gun specs are 4 lbs. for both barrels. K-80 RT models are also 4 lbs. for both barrels. We will adjust your triggers as close to your specifications as possible, while maintaining operational safety of the gun.
Should you decide that you need a "release" type trigger in your gun, only the Krieghoff service department should install it. Single and double release triggers are available in the K-80 and K-32. We can also restore your gun to a pull-style trigger after a release trigger has been installed.
The sear springs can be updated in older serial number K-32 and K-80 guns. This is the conversion from wire springs to coil springs for better reliability and trigger pull weight consistency. K-80 guns made since the year 1990 will already have the coil-style sear springs. Metal Refinishing: Re-blueing is desirable when your receiver or barrel show the signs of wear. Any rust or pitting should be taken care of before it takes its toll on the function or value of your gun. We offer complete restoration of K-80 and K-32 blueing from just the top latch or trigger guard to a complete 4-barrel set. All metal refinishing requires complete disassembly. We inspect, clean and lubricate all parts when the gun is re-assembled. Minor repairs or replacements are included in the base price. If your receiver has a nickel finish, it can also be put back to new condition. This requires sending the action to the Krieghoff factory in Ulm, Germany, and will usually take around eight weeks for the complete job. Barrel chambers on older guns can be chromed. This also requires sending the barrels to the Krieghoff factory in Ulm, Germany, and this will take around 10 weeks. Recoil Pad Fitting: We can fit new recoil pads to your gun no matter what dimensions your stock is. The option of lengthening or shortening your recoil pad is also available as an option. The lengthening involves fitting a spacer between your stock and the pad in order to gain a few mm in length. Woodwork and Refinishing: A Krieghoff factory adjustable comb can be installed on your stock. Only Krieghoff hardware is used in this process. In addition, we can install a variety of adjustable butt plate devices, recoil pads or bend your stock to change cast and drop.
Re-finishing of the woodwork is also available. Minor dents and scratches can be raised or buffed out. We offer a soft sheen satin urethane finish, high gloss urethane finish, deep hand-rubbed linseed oil finish, or the popular "Tru-Oil" finish as available options. Tru-oil and urethane finishes will take around 4 weeks. A hand rubbed linseed oil finish will take between 3 and 5 months depending on the rate at which the wood grain fills. Woodwork Recheckering: We offer a recheckering service for stocks with worn checkering. This is to give your stock or forearm a better look and grip. We cannot give an exact quote for this service until inspection of the work that needs to be done. Find Out More >>>
