Interesting - the pins are not visible. | |||

I don't know why pinless sidelocks are not more common. They are not that much more difficult to build. I like the single standing rear sight. Don't know about the cocking indicators. Dave | |||

I would think that they could have polished out the tooling marks on the side plates better then this. 465H&H | |||

I saw and handled a couple of Heym sidelocks at SCI and was unimpressed. As 465 H&H has indicated, the metal finishing was rather poor, I didn't like the beavertail fore ends, and the buttstocks, with their huge cheekpieces, felt wrong. Not very "elegant" is how I'd put it, especially as compared with other, more classically designed and finished sidelocks. I really liked the $170,000 H&H Royal in .500/.465, for example.

Did you check out the Harman & Weiss? Very nice fit and finish, but then for $200,000 one would expect........ Jim "Bwana Umfundi" NRA | |||

Isn't that a sideplated trigger plate action? Anyway it looks just like all the other Heym doubles -terrible! | |||

I've got some change in my piggy bank. Maybe I could hold a yardsale for the rest. "Science only goes so far then God takes over." | |||

Yup, I saw that one, too, Jim, and there were no flies on it, either! Peter Hofer had some incredible little jewel-like doubles in .22 and .17 rimfire as well. Couldn't have weighed in at more than four or five pounds. Just right for those charging wounded squirrels!  Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

For a few more dollars they can polish one up to look like this.   | |||

For that much effort in metal work I am suprised at the wood-to-metal gap at 1 o'clock on the side plate. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||
