Your Thoughts on "Heym"

Went with @Kevin Peacocke to Andrew Tonkin today....well I can just say the meeting was brief but the Heym 89B is a masterpiece of practical and efficient design....problem is when you pick it up you don't want to put it down....absolutely the best doubles available here.

Now to get organized and get the tom sorted out....
3 barrel set is my dream
500NE
375 Flanged Magnum
20ga or 12ga

Andrew will see if they can supply a 12ga on the Gross action otherwise it will be a 20ga on an African action....
I might add my eyes kept going back to the 135lb(I am sure that's what he said), 20 and a half inch lip set of elephant tusks.....
Our meeting was a bit short but Andrew had a personal problem to attend to.

Forget about selling Heym doubles, Andrew could charge people to just come and fondle those things.

Although the action is wider, the firing pin centers aren't far enough apart for the 12ga.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
