Selecting Firing Order of the K-80/RT
Trigger Group
The K-80/RT single trigger is fully mechanical
and does not rely on recoil to set the second
barrel. The advantages are ultra quick re-
setting and ability to fire the second barrel
even if the shell in the first misfires. The RT’s
firing sequence (bottom/top or top/bottom) is
controlled by the internal selector bar E (No.
RT 756), which has a spring loaded detent.
The selector bar may be moved to the left
or right by simply sliding it in the desired
direction. With the hammers facing forward
and the rear of the trigger guard facing you,
move the selector to the right to make the
bottom barrel fire first. Move the selector to
the left to make the top barrel fire first.
Maintenance for the K-80/RT Trigger
Group
The RT trigger group should be cleaned
periodically with an aggressive aerosol gun
cleaner that leaves no residue. Pay particular
attention in cleaning the area marked F in
the illustration since the accumulation of
dirt, unburned powder, or shell particles
under the sears may cause the trigger system
to malfunction. After spray cleaning, allow
the trigger group to dry thoroughly. Then
relubricate it with a light coat of Krieghoff GP
or other high quality light gun oil.
Thorough drying and relubrication are very
important since aggressive cleaners remove
all lubrication and rust preventative and may
allow rust.
If your K-80/RT malfunctions, the first
trouble-shooting step is to clean and
relubricate it as described above. If either
barrel fails to fire or the trigger pulls become
stiff or hard, remove the RT Trigger Group,
clean it, and allow it to dry. Relubricate it
lightly and reinstall it in your gun to continue
shooting. If the problem persists, contract
your authorized Krieghoff gunsmith.
Note: The use of agressive aerosol cleaners is
recommended ONLY for the K-80/RT Trigger
Group. Do NOT use these cleaners on any
other part of the K-80/RT or on ANY part of
the K-80 or K-20.
