www.HEYMUSA.com new "PH" - MORE PICS ADDED
      #53802 - 02/04/06 01:42 AM

As some of you have already seen from the new website, HEYM USA has a new model double available.

In addition to the well-known 88B "Safari" model, here is the first of the new 88B "PH" models.

It's the exact same gun as the 88B "Safari" - without the engraving.

Over and over again, I’ve heard requests for a true "working gun" with emphasis placed on fit, finish and function above the aesthetics.

Well, here it is.






To generate more interest in this new model, we're offering introductory pricing. (Sorry, but I can't "advertise" the price here). I CAN say that this model lists for about $2K less than 88B Safari model.

So, if you're in the market, send me a P.M. for pricing.

The annual factory price increase is set to go into effect May 1... so orders for new HEYMs will need to placed a week or so before that date to get them at this "introductory price."

The new website is still "under construction" but you can visit it here... www.heymusa.com

Available calibers for the 88B "Safari" & "PH" models include:

375 H&H Belted Mag
375 H&H Flanged Mag
416 Rigby
500/416 N.E.
458 Win Mag.
450 3&1/4" NE
470 NE
500 NE

Standard features for both models include:
>>>Articulated (Hinged) front trigger
>>>Intercepting sears
>>>And auto-ejectors

NitroX has OK'd the posting of this offer here.

A damned nice looking clean usuable double rifle.

I myself would love one in .500/.416 setup for a QD scope. Would make a dandy dangerous game and heavy plains game rifle.

It's great that Heym are now making a "tool" without the engravings, but I must admit I would have hoped they had knocked off a bit more than US$2000 in price reduction. Which it sounds like will be going up in a months time anyway!

New Guy,

I take it that your offer on AR also extends to NE? A few of us on NE are not registered on AR. And we all have our own reasons.

Will the folks on NE get the same deal?

New Guy,

Will you be selling the Heym kipplaufs, drillings and bolt rifles as well or are you only going to sell their double rifles? Very nice site and fine rifles.

Thanks for posting.

There was a Heym Express Rifle in 500 A2 on Cabelas website, but someone bought it before I found out the price. Did any of you guys notice the price on that rifle?

Does anyone know if this is factory
funded venture or an individual importing
some rifles? Just curious as to levels
of support, local factory service,parts
etc..
It is a very handsome rifle.

I am registered on AR however I no longer post there nor do I even look at the site.

The owner of AR is someone who obviously does not like Americans (ME!), Australians (I'm not Aussie but I've lived there!), or any other non-Islamic Middle Eastern type. Read his opinions in the political forum there if you think I am mistaken.

That is why I no longer post there and no longer browse the AR site.

I apologize for using the thread to voice a complaint.

Richard.

Hey who cares what Saeed Al-Maktoum has done or not or what his politics are. Leave the AR crap over there please. That IS one of the rules here.

A lot of members here have come here to get away from that sort of thing.

Lets talk about Double Rifles, and on this thread Heym doubles instead.

Tell what this gun is?

First of all, it is a boxlock as opposed to a sidelock which has the action attached to the side locks. It is also does not have Ornamental Strengthening Plates which is a boxlock which looks like a sidelock. Next, it does not have the useless side clips which may theoretically give side strength, but winde up being excellent little knives for cutting fingers when reloading. It does not have a dolls head but does have a Greener crossbolt which slides though holes in the upper tang coming off the rear of the barrels. I imagine it is an Anson & Deeley system but haven't seen a Heym in some time and forget. I imagine it has two other locking lugs, probably a Purdey double underbolt system. It is also a "clam shell" gun meaning there is extra steel on the side of the action to give added strength. It is like the Searcy PH model in this. The Heym (maybe or maybe not this model) has ejectors which can be turned off if preferred.

Any other questions?

It's not a clamshell action.
It's a reinforced action.

You drinking?

Now we are learning something

In reply to:

First of all, it is a boxlock as opposed to a sidelock which has the action attached to the side locks. It is also does not have Ornamental Strengthening Plates which is a boxlock which looks like a sidelock.

Got that one figured out

In reply to:

Next, it does not have the useless side clips which may theoretically give side strength, but winde up being excellent little knives for cutting fingers when reloading.

I don't understand this one. Where are these side clips and what do they look like?

In reply to:

It does not have a dolls head but does have a Greener crossbolt which slides though holes in the upper tang coming off the rear of the barrels.

This part I understand. The upper tang is straight sided where it comes down into the action body. The cross bolt must be the oval shape on the upper section of the action behind the breech face.

In reply to:

I imagine it is an Anson & Deeley system but haven't seen a Heym in some time and forget.

You will have to explain this one.

In reply to:

I imagine it has two other locking lugs, probably a Purdey double underbolt system.

I can visualize this and might recognize it if I saw it.

In reply to:

It is also a "clam shell" gun meaning there is extra steel on the side of the action to give added strength. It is like the Searcy PH model in this.

Extra steel where on the sides?

In reply to:

The Heym (maybe or maybe not this model) has ejectors which can be turned off if preferred.

This is pretty straight forward.

Clamshell is a description of the added metal to the exterior side of the action body just where it comes into contact with the barrels. On some (mainly German) guns, these are in the shape of a clamshell, hence, the name. This one, like the Searcy, is a skinny clamshell (lets call it a razor clam). The added metal strengthenes that area.

Side clips: In Brit terminology, these are attached at the "canons", or "detonators". Aussies often call these "boobs" for obvious reasons. These are the rounded areas on the upper frame which face into the rearwardmost part of the barrels. The butt part of the shell case presses against them. Am I getting too personal here? I hear the Aussies are shy. In any event, instead of being flat at this point, some guns have "clips" which fit into the sides of the barrels. Theoretically, this provides a bit of strengthening reinforcement for the eccentric loads of a SxS. In truth, they are merely for cutting the fingers of the serfs who quickly load our brace of doubles. Musn't let them think they are too adept at these things.

As for Anson and Dealy, it is the basic locking/design system of most doubles since about 1880 or thereabouts. This excepts the French who are too weird to copy (vid. Darne system). Repeat after me, "The French copy no one, and no one copies the French."

Well I looked around and found a couple of pics of a Sauer on my computer. I added some basic test to show you exactly what the people are trying to describe.

I'm wrong alot so take this next part with a grain of salt as there seems to be some contention growing.

I beleive most people refer this as a "clamshell" . Then this would be "reinforced" . Now as I said I've been wrong plenty of times but that seems to be the general accepted distinction between clamshell and reinforced.
