Scope mounts for Heym 26B

About the Company

HEYM was founded in 1865, in Suhl, Germany, by Friedrich Wilhelm Heym. Throughout its history, the company has encountered many hardships. These include economic crises, the Nazi regime, and the post-WW II occupation of Germany. Consequently, it has changed its location more than once. Despite that, the Heym brand remains deeply respected and its guns widely admired.

As early as 1891, HEYM manufactured and patented the first hammerless drilling, a three-barreled hunting rifle with three triggers and three hammers on the same axis. Afterwards, the company began to expand, producing drillings, shotguns, and over and under rifle-shotgun combinations. They predominantly exported their products to Russia and the USA. In 1920, the company began producing Anson & Deeley Drillings, double rifle drillings, three trigger drillings, double rifles, and rifle shotgun combination guns.

After World War II, HEYM made a fresh start in the American part of divided Germany. There, the company manufactured products such as cuckoo clocks, slide rules, and spinning wheels since the ownership and making of guns were not allowed. HEYM restored its primary activity in 1952 when the revised laws again allowed the ownership and making of certain hunting and sporting guns.

In 1998, the owner of the company became Thomas Wolkmann. The company's name was first changed to HEYM Waffenfabrik GmbH (Limited), and then in 2007 to the present name, HEYM AG.

About the Rifle

Heym 26B

Heym 26B is an under-double break barrel rifle featuring an aluminium alloy receiver which allows for reduced weight. The barrels which come with a built-in scope base on the sides are made of high-quality Krupp steel and are matted to the receiver using a steel hinge pin for optimal shooting accuracy.

Like many break-barrel rifles, Heym 26B comes equipped with a manual cocking mechanism that releases the tension on the firing pin when un-cocked and thus makes the rifle much safer to carry around. The single trigger is nonselective, firing the bottom barrel first. It breaks at 1304 g (2lb 14oz) for the bottom and 1474 g (3lbs 4 oz) for the top barrel. There is a lever placed above the rifle’s handle that opens the weapon and can be comfortably reached with a thumb.

Moreover, Heym 26B can be quickly and effectively disassembled by removing the forearm first and then opening the weapon, separating the barrels from the stock. This design allows for quick changing of the barrels and helps with the maintenance of the rifle. The front and rear open sights are factory-included.

The possible barrel length for Heym 26B is 559 mm (22-inch).

Which Rifles Have Interchangeable Mounts

Two-piece mounts

For two-piece mounts to fit on a rifle, mounting surfaces must match in all dimensions except the B distance. B distance can vary because two-piece mounts can be installed and adjusted closer or further apart.

One-piece mounts

For one-piece mounts to fit on a rifle, mounting surfaces on these rifles must match in every dimension.

Unfortunately, we currently lack information regarding interchangeable mounts for the Heym 26B rifle. Should you have any additional information regarding possible mount matches, please contact us. We would gladly accept your help and expand our database accordingly.
