Someone had seen this photo, compliment it respectfully. However: I'm Quoting his response: "must be among the last from V-C as an venerable independent maker of fine guns [my spies tell me they're in discussion for future inclusion in the voracious but high quality Baretta Gun empire" Has...

My Ma @ 76yrs old purchased this, she really liked the way it looked. I didn't really see the appeal, it's not a pistol, nor a long gun. I've shot it a couple times, and though unorthodox, thought it is cool.

It looks like a beautiful ride, 450-400, 9lbs. etc. Just a thought, would love to see one .. & I'm not big on the 89?

I think the 38 say's a Model 10 & .. Model 19, 357

Throwing clays with these out of a Coach gun is .. ridiculous However, these have some Snot! for a 3" I had to save some .. @BeeMaa, etc. has anyone heard or used these? thank you.

Found this interesting @Hunting Hitman & owners alike .. less this is old news.

Those that served & still do are a breed apart. Thank you, foremost. Familiar with the M-16 & a bit of hx behind it. What was the larger machine gun (depicted in Vietnam) that the soldier usually Bear'd what look like 30-06 ammo around the chest? And today, any insight to what is used in...

I know shit from Shinola, or anything about the listing, seller, etc. Nice 88, however. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/heym-rifles/heym-model-88-470-nitro-express.cfm?gun_id=102775068&contact_sent=1

All game is potentially dangerous. Now 500's on Black Bear is unorthodox, but for what it's worth .. The Jeffery, N.E. does anyone suggest a preferred projectile & why (the basic 101's of projectiles)? many thanks, if you can. wbr, Dan.

Never shot, stays in this slip since the dealer assembled it. Does anyone know "what this dark mark" could be? Wasn't there when bought new .. even tried with cleaning it with a cloth. Many thanks.

Finally, for Memorial Day. 9pm EDT. Turner Classic Movies. Legendary Director William Wyler & last surviving pilots.

This sounds ridiculous to some, perhaps. "Nothing purchased here was for an Investment", simply a tool. If you fire a few rounds through a New (Factory Fired Only) double, does this decrease the value, even by the slightest? You'd think it would be in the best interest to make sure your...

I had an obsession, really young & still look occasionally for "American Arms Turkey SXS 10". 12ga 3.5's seemed to be as effective & 10's started to become extinct. Generally speaking, 3.5's seem to be limited over decades past. And the ones available .. Camo? Just curious, anyone's thought's...

Well, no one, ever wants to go, so .. trying to film, shoot, etc. by yourself? However, idk what it's choked, but had success, it was fun. This had to go back to Stoeger years ago. The Supreme, (alleged known problem) would hand up on the right Barrel, consistently.

Going through Ma's stuff, I found the correspondence as she met & kept in touch with Graeme Edge & Co. from "The Moody Blues" 1971. "One the Threshold of a Dream" really cool.

Would anyone have the slightest interest? He'd like to see $1500. Idk anything about them, thought I'd ask on account of a friends' behalf. He'll have the link here to AH as well. Accountable, avid NA & abroad Hunter. Many Thanks.

Both Rifle, then the Swift were purchased new apx.1996. Last practiced indoors with 20 rounds of Remington 165grn SP in 2005. It's been in this case, short of polishing it from time. Idk who else to ask, if anyone has an idea, always appreciated AH. Dan.

Do many builders offer High Gloss Finishes? I thought Heym referred to it as a "London Finish", etc. Practicality aside, just curious if anyone has preferred, or requested it upon a build? An example. Some glossy Add's or Online sites seem to misrepresent (or photo shop) the actual firearm...

Coming from the city to an Extremely rural, Northern Hemisphere. I've been to some incredible country in the US, but it can be strange here surrounded by the water, mines & pines. The sky, enormous moons, lights, meteor showers, cold, dark, wildlife. Working from the across locks, up to the...

These are interesting...

From Heym's Facebook Page. Just for a size comparison, 89's Frame's (if different), Barrels, etc. Can anyone suggest the Calibers respectively? Thank you.

I've heard it mentioned, CEB's are arguably the best Solid today. What about, or what differs Woodleigh's Hydros? This quote comes from Federals site: "The task was to design a bullet that would bridge the gap between traditional expanding bullets and modern solids" If anyone care to...

What I couldn't understand is why a "W, J, Jeffery" would appear For Sale while built in the mid-2000's. A well-versed member here shared close ups of one, it's not so impeccable workmanship, while still priced in London's Best League. Circa 2000 "Rock Island Auction, idk when" Wikipedia (for...

Preferably built in the last Decade, or so? Not "highly" motivated @ this time. However, still looking .. Thank you. Respectfully, Dan.

Someone asked long ago, I'm sure overly debated .. really splitting hairs, little down time here. However, finally found this again.

Mystery woman. In the Case Coloring .. https://martinigunmakers.com/for-sale/lh-heym-89b-450-n-e-3-1-4-ejectors/

I'm sure everyone does. 5 yrs ago, an 89 nicely appointed was not spoken for in .500, it was substantial. Had I known an 88 could be spec'd a bit more subtle? .. I would've rethought. perhaps. Still haven't handled an 89, love the 88 however. Passed on this .. long ago. Big Decision for a...

Listed on Etsy for quite a while, really regret not moving forward ..

Original Purchased new, 2003, never any issues. One occasion, 400 Grn "Mono Metal" 1700fps Brass got lodged in the cylinder after firing all 5. Needed a rod to tap out each piece, no problems since. Reputable manufacturer, on here I believe, and no problems since. Their response to this...

If you want to ship ammo with UPS, keep in mind that the ammunition must not exceed 12.7 mm (50 caliber or 0.5 inch) for rifle or pistol cartridges. Shotgun shell ammo also can’t be more than 8 gauge. UPS also lets you ship blank ammo, and ammo with inert projectiles.

Another thread prompt a question. Idk how the Prime Rates dictate Bank/Savings Interest. (Basic 101) Apx. Early 2000's, A Simple Money Market/Savings yielded good returns. Month, APY. They had to be >3.5% .. It's sat at .05% for close to the past Decade. They offer 1.20% now, I believe...

Worth asking .. would love to see.

Has anyone contacted Krieghoff (recently), in the interest of a new Classic "Big Five" for immediate availability? or is there a wait on them as well .. Thank you, Dan.

I'm looking for a Display Cabinet. DutchCrafters no longer makes this, wouldn't be hard to have built. I'm just curious how many people Display & if you care to share? .. I understand if it's personal, looking for ideas. Thank you.

Got an Email from them .. Some big Game Cartridges in Stock Perhaps it might Help someone. https://www.nosler.com/

Idk if anyone will entertain this, here. However, If you have a Rifle without The Original Box .. Has anyone sent one in a Soft Case, securely packed in a Cardboard Box, ie. Any suggestions appreciated.

Bought New in 2003 Fired 20 Rounds through it @ Best & Hasn't Been Shot in 7yrs. I just Noticed this? .. It's a raised area on the Finish. Did this crack? Almost as if a Wood Putty had been used before they finished & stained it! Any Help, sincerely appreciated .. Is it Safe?

Long ago now, I was on the search for an Autoloader, O/U. Simply field, upland, throwing clays, etc. I had no idea how lightweight Shotguns had become. I went back as I decided on the A5 .. until I shouldered the Ethos, "Perfect Fit". I didn't research it prior & it has yet to be used. Just...

G&A Dec. 2002

Sales & Distributor: @FOXTROTLIMA3 I've been really anticipating their incoming inventory. Their correspondence has been an absolute pleasure.

This is a very novice question, but that's why I'm here. Can someone explain the importance of one's desired ammunition to the correlation of your battery .. ie, "The 500 J (bought 2nd hand) was regulated with 600 grn soft/solids @ 2100 fps. at 50 yards" .. I wonder why & does this make the...

There's a sponsor here who now can distribute Kynoch. That aside .. Now, love it or hate it (High Cost, Better options, etc) .. When there's listings of Kynoch on (GunsInternational For Example). Without determining how old these 5 packs are, when is it deemed unsafe or too old to use? ie...

"One a DSB, or SSB Bolt" .. is this your Horizontal Line (The Bridge) where you then measure your Drop? Thank you!

Does anyone know the proverbial time frame to have a VC built? thank you.
