The Krieghoff Model ULM represents a pinnacle of traditional postwar German gunsmithing, combining a robust over-and-under locking mechanism with highly refined, hand-detachable true sidelocks. When configured in 16 gauge, it makes for an exceptionally well-balanced, lightweight, and responsive upland hunting firearm.
