1000h x $100 = $100,000

Is engraving actually 100$ an hour? And if so, is this really a $25,000 gun without the engraving? These are all assumptions, but Im trying to figure out what the hourly rate might be for something like this. Or if the price itself is just reflective of relative craftsmanship. Very interesting gun. Genuinely curious as to the price range myself. Are there simpler version of these guns, and if so what do they fetch without engraving?

There's a YouTube video that shows the workmanship that goes into these shotguns. They are works of art.

If you would have told me about it, I would have hated it. To see it in person, I secretly love it. Besides, if you pay over $10k for a shotgun (the low end for the K-80, which can go past $40k), you can put whatever the heck you want to on it.

Clearly not. Wow! Love some of that work they show in the "related products" portion.

I have actually held this receiver in person and it is stunning to say the least, I absolutely love it.

Finally. Engraving that isn't a game scene or a war tribute. As masterfully executed as they are, I get really tired of the same ideas over and over.

Is this not just an engraved stoeger coach gun?
