Recently acquired this and now a business opportunity with a close friend has come up. It remains unfired since leaving the Heym factory in 1992. Was owned by a very wealthy collector in Illinois before finding it's way to me. The scope is no longer with the rifle. I also have loaded ammo and loose bullets if interested as well. After speaking with the guys at Jackson Armory in Dallas, TX this rifle is apparently one of extremely few to have left Germany configured this way. I'm asking $12,000 shipped in a hard sided case. Can provide more pictures upon request

@Garrett89 very nice looking rifle and I’m a Lefty too…but right now I’m selling my .470NE Chapuis double to acquire some more “funds” so that i can “reinvest” in additional fine firearms - like yours! Very nice gun and you are asking a fair price
 
Open to partial trades as well. Just let me know what you have
 
Lefty here. I would in a heart beat. If all my ducks were in a row.
 
That’s an awesome looking rifle. GLWS
 
Dear lefties. On every thread, every ad, whatever is being peddled, you always post "boy its nice, if it was a Lefty I'd buy it in a heartbeat!".

Yet here we are, again. 100% of the time, lefty stuff languishes on the forum. It's a lovely gun, but for whatever reason, that left hand can never seem to reach into the left back pocket to pull out a wallet.

It would take you two years waiting and a lot more money to order a lefty gun like this, and here it is on a silver patter for instant gratification.

Thanks greatly! I'm leaving for the holidays so won't be around until 8 December. If that works I'll be appreciative. Address is Mason Reid, 1504 Driftwood Drive, Bozeman, MT 59715.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
