I'll help with the story Mum always told me. It was the summer of '68 (I was born early 69), you were a precocious 13 year old Democrat Party student representative on a social studies field trip to the DNC convention in Chicago. Mom was a young police officer trying to hold back the tide of filthy hippies. After teargassing you at a protest, your eyes met, and well, one thing lead to another....

Back on topic, did anyone else check out the 8-bore BOLT action that went for 850? If it wasn't for the hassle of importing I was tempted to bid on that one just for the novelty of the action design. At almost 18lb I'd think it would be pleasant to shoot and a unique turkey gun for sure.

I get your story but one thing remains. Exactly whom did I father with my affair with Janet? I thought it was you as you do have a slight resemblance to her (cheekbones, eyes, etc.)

Was out chronogtaphing the .600, 8- and 4-bores yesterday. The flat for the sprue cut allows sometime to get a reading on the Lab Radar with spherical balls.

Interesting 8-bore bolt.

25% commission to the buyer, never heard of it switched to the buyer.

That is a rough pill to swallow.

Makes a $5500 Heym a $6900 Heym. There are Kreighoff's on Guns International for only a couple thousands more.

I guess I'll watch and see they pops up.

I'd be really happy with a mid-caliber 400 to 470 Heym for $9000 out the door.


Almost all major auction houses attempt to soak both buyer and seller , at time to the tune of 50%-(totaL)

one must negotiate the percentage carefully when selling---
an be observant of the "rules" when bidding
