New K-Guns run around $12K and I have seen some lightly used ones sell for about $8K recently. Hope that helps.

I thought it was a gun store somewhere.

Let me beat the "regulars" to the punch by saying that the K gun is a POS and that the decocking device will get you killed. Typical German over engineering of a problem that does not exist. H&H had it right 100 years ago, and BTW the 1911 cannot be improved.
I will take it off his hands for $7000 at considerable risk to my life and limb (from my wife, not an ele or buff).

I would be quite happy to win a Kreighoff double anything. I'd even make a good home for one of the now-despised Sabattis.

Geez Dave you are quick on the trigger! For the record I own, and love, my K-gun in 500/416 and my Blaser S2 500NE, both of which are considered anathema to the purists.

Sorry Peter. Thought it was another K-gun, Blaser bash.

.500 NE K-gun in your hands at a retail outlet, $10,000-$12,000.

.500 NE K-gun in your hands when a elephant charges, priceless.

There is no reason to blast the K-gun, but..............The S-2 Now that's a zebra of a different stripe!

Dave your skin must be rawhide by now after letting people know you have a Blaser S-2, and actually like it!

It seems though Peter's TIC post seems to have gotten through the tough rawhide skin!

Just kidding you buddy! Bring that water pipe double down to the Texas Hoot & Shoot,and let me shoot it! I'll even bite my tongue instead of speaking about it!
