Borchardt find

[Gunlaker]

That's a great find Don. I was at a show recently and saw a sporter Borchardt for sale. I didn't look at it from closer than 10 feet though as the price was $7500!

I like the Borchardt rifles quite a lot. Mine was a sporter but got turned into a modern version of a Long Range model by Curt Hardcastle. I still have the original barrel and wood. The barrel looks to be in surprisingly good shape for an old gun. One day I should do a chamber cast. I did try to see if a modern .45-70 gg cartridge fits and it does just fine.
