Where are all the American double rifle makers

The Hoenig Rotary is very interesting and unique.

Now that is the slickest rifle I have ever seen. If, and a mighty big if, I should ever desire a double and could find one, that would be it. Absolutely beautiful, the proportions, scope mount, rotary action, caliber, everything about it.

I agree Newboomer, that double is an engineering masterpiece.
Does anyone on AH have one?

Only thing that gave me concern was the way the saftey stood up. Looks like it would be fairly easy to bump it over into the fire position accidently, given the way it sticks up in the air like that compared to a tang safety or crossbolt in the trigger gaurd.

But maybe not.

Other than that...the thing is amazing engineering for sure.

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

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
