My negotiations with Chris are over and I got my build sheet!

HEYM MARTINI EXPRESS RIFLE CHAMBERED IN .404 JEFFREY
Full Bone-and-Charcoal Color Case Hardening to include action, bolt sleeve, floorplate, scope rings.
Grade 8 Turkish Walnut - Piece R382 - Which I personally picked out.
High Gloss "London" Stock Finish.
"HEYM 404 JEFFREY" in 24K Gold on Floor plate.
"F-S" in 24K Gold on Action.
Talley .600" Rings for Swaro z8i Case Colored to Match Rifle.
Polished bolt and bolt handle in the white (Like Original 98 Mauser).
14 1/4" Length of Pull.
SERIAL NUMBER - 11565 /// Rifle has to start with 11, 5 is my birth month, 65 is my birth year.

I got it in writing that it is promised to me by March 2027.

This is the wood I selected-

And after inputting all my options into AI, including the wood, this is what AI's best guess at what my rifle will look like. Except it keeps putting the "F-S" in the wrong place!

I really hope you get a beautiful rifle that is everything you ever wished to get.

He did promise you March, apparently just not which one!

I just got off the phone with Chris In fact he just spent over an hour and a half with me. This rifle has already started production in Germany. I already have a serial number. He said "March at the latest - I can commit to that." He seems like a man of his word and I believe him; yes. I will show you pictures in March.

That is supposed to say March 2027!!!! It won't let me edit it.
 
Very nice rifle spec and my favorite caliber! Congratulations!
 
The Ralph Martini inspired Heym's are one of the best handling and balanced bolt-action rifles it's ever been my pleasure to handle.
Congrats on your custom commission and enjoy the anticipation of it's delivery.
 
Congrats !! That is an amazing looking mock up. Martini Heym are spectacular rifles.

Are you allowed to give them a bullet and load you want it to shoot?

Promised March 2027? Are there contractual repercussions Heym pays. IE; if it’s not delivered on time the price is reduced 1% for every week it’s late?

I’ve worked under similar construction contracts.

Again Congratulations.
 
@migrabill - Congratulations on the order and what a gorgeous piece of timber. Looking forward to seeing it when it arrives.

Funny I also just ordered a 404 my wood is just a few numbers off also, will be interesting to see how long the build actually takes!

Did they give you an ideal of how long it will take? Chriss told me that they already had 4 in Germany that had started the process and I got my name on one of them. Hence the quicker turn around.

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
