Krieghoff cocking mechanism
      28/01/06 03:47 AM

In past years, I have not liked the Krieghoff double rifle cocking mechanism/safety thingie because I found it too hard to push and I found that it had to travel quite far compared to the traditional safety of a double rifle. This is in part due to the fact that I cracked my thumb knuckle some years back. But regardless of that, I still found it slower than a regular safety.

However, at 2006 Reno/SCI I handled some Krieghoffs again and found their cocking piece a lot easier to use than before. I would not say the travel is less, but it seems to require much less effort than before, and seems to be faster than before.

Does anyone know if there have been subtle design changes to the Krieghoff cocking mechanism/safety thingie to make it easier to use?

BTW, Krieghoff offers a 3 barrel drilling which is 20 ga. x 20 ga. x 9.3 x 74R with an extra set of 9.3 x 74R inserts for the 20 ga. barrels. Nice!
