Was that a 10,000.00 (ten-thousand) Euro piece of wood or a 1,000.00 (one-thousand) Euro piece of wood Ivan is holding?
Yes, 10.000 Euro for this peace of wood.
This includes the making and oil-polished-finised (Heym pricelist 1.500 Euro).


Great pictures
Thank you.


Outstanding! That gun has a lot of history! And now it will start again.

Now this is one special thread!!!!! Like Rusty said,
I wish I'd been there too! This is what makes A/R the
place it is. The people doing their "thing" and shar-
ing it!

Thank you so much for that post!

Your English is a whole lot better than my German.........

I saw and held Ivans rifle at DSC, that thing you returned to him is artwork.

Had the pleasure to hunt and shoot with Thomas in Texas a few years ago.

What Mike is refering to is that a few years ago Thomas, the owner of Heym was in Dallas for the DSC.

He went with us on a DRSS Pig hunt.

Gotcha. Thanks!

people it was a great experience , getting to see where it all starts and just how many man hours and just how incredibly precise and talented the people are that make these fine rifles , - as you see l'ill E managed to get a look in too !

Ivan, if I had a head of hair like you, I'd never wear a cap on safari!

Nice post. Fantastic rifles.

Hi Friends,

since 5 days the magazine with the article about Ivan Carter, his double gun and his adventures is on the market.

In rekord-time, within a little bit more than 40 days.

And it is my personal rekord. It is 17 pages (!!) story, with photos. I think this is an other record too.

It is printed in the european JAGDZEIT, this means in english HUNTING TIME. This is an magazin about worldwide-hunting.

Here you can the the homepage from the magazine:
http://www.jagdzeit.at/

Here the new magazine 07-2011:
http://www.jagdzeit.at/

It is an other big story in it.
About the german hunter Kai Uwe Denker and his new 100pfund Elefant.

And mutch more...

This is the magazine cover.

Here you can see the sice and format of the magazine.
I think it is the "biggest hunting magazine", it is bigger as Din A 4, a piece of paper.

Here the first two pages.
Titel: Die wasserfeste Heym

If Ivan and the publisher (I had send both an mail in this minute) gives me the permission (Im only the author and have not 100% of the copyright) I can send anybody (who has interessed and send me an private mail) an complete PDF ...
:-)

Great story and pics. Thanks for sharing w/the AR team.

I do trust that a floatation device has been fitted to that gun?
Good story!

...I have two more of these magazines.

If somebody has interessed, please PM me and I will send it to you for free.

The barrels comes now to the "hammering-machine", to get prepared to the different calibers, from .22 to 600 Nitro Express. Heym makes over 100 different calibers.

IMO, for what it is worth the cold hammer forging of barrels is the best way to rifle a barrel, along with Cryo stress relieving is why rifles made with this type of barrel making are historically super accurate.

Heym rifles are all made with Cold hammer forged barrels, as are most German made rifles. Most also start with Krupp steel billets.
