    Looking to upgrade my Browning BT-99 Trap to a higher end gun . Maybe tariffs have something to do
    with the problem but living in Western Pa I am only about one hour from Dawson's in Ohio and an hour and a half from Joel Etchens guns . Had my eye on a Krieighoff KX-6 Special and neither place has had one for a long time . Also considered a BT-99 Plus or a BT-99 Max very difficult to find and Etchen's informed me they have had the BT-99 Pluses on order for several years .
    Etchen's sells a signature Beretta model 687 Silver Pigeon III Deluxe Trap Unsingle
    for $4700.00 , apparently they have a contract and the tariffs does not affect this import ?
    Thanks

    Gone a little further west and you would have ended up a Jaquas that advertises they have new KX-6 Special in stock.

    Yes I saw that one , thanks I guess the Kreighoff sticker on the barrel would come off and I think his price is $6800.00
    and when I did see new they were selling for around $7300-$7500 he needs to discount a little more for me to bite .

    I have been wanting to drive out to Jaquas , however 4.5-5.0 hour dive for me , 10 hours round trip . Maybe after the first of the year Krieghoff will start to ship new
    although maybe not , I hear 10-20% tariffs. ?

    Some trapshooters are known to drive that far to save a couple of bucks on a bag of shot.

    Contact Michael Gooch of the Indiana Fun Club. He’s sold a lot of Krieghoff KX-6 Specials. PM me if you need his phone number. Good luck.
