Harry, sorry to hear about the hands, can you get DMSO over there in England? If you can it works great for arthritis, just don't use to much of it. It was orignaly made as a solvent, but has been used as horse liminate for years. Works great on me.

Hello Mike,

That's interesting, I'll have to check it out with the local Horse Tack shop. It's something I haven't heard of, but if it works it's worth a try. I take Cod Liver Oil capsules every day and also Glucosamine Sulphate tablets, but they don't seem to work so well. Perhaps I need some WD40 on these 69 year old fingers. lol.

Harry.

Hello Harry, the only drawback with the DMSO is that when you use it the stuff immediately leaves a taste in your mouth like Garlic. Other than that is works wonders. Make sure your hands or any other body part you apply the stuff too is really clean as it has a nasty habit of pulling things under the skin, like if you wrote your name on your arm and then later rubbed it with DMSO it would leave the ink under the skin much like a tatoo.

Hello Mike,
Does DMSO have a particular trade name or is it simply an abbreviation of four longer words? 

The taste of Garlic doesn't bother me a bit, I eat the bulbs raw and put it into many of my meals. It doesn't pay to eat it before going out on a hot date though. lol. Thanks for the tips on application.

Harry

As an update, Joseph Lozito has the action apart, barrel off and anneled the action and has worked out all of te pin point little rust marks. Zischang did a lightening job on this one as Joseph said that the complete action was sculptured to be lighter in weight. He has had to repair several internal parts and make a new lever link for it too. I have asked him to send some pictures of it in prgress so we can all see wha he is doing to it. He will do a chamber cst this week and we will find out what caliber it really is, he and I still think some version of the 8.15x46R.  And he will be adding sights to it too as none were wih it when Ipurchased it. Gail at CPA has my blank for it and will profile it here soon and Joseph will do the finl inletting. I usualy do my own but I am being transfered for a project in Colorado atthe Climax mine so I wll not have the time and I really want to getto shoot the old girl sonner than later and Joseph is doing the inletting at a very reasonable price.
I'll post pics as I get them. He is finished with the lower ang and double set trigger aseembly and they are fitting and today was finishing up the upper tang. Getting closer.
Mike

It's sounding better by the day Mike, i'm looking forward to seeing the pictures. I'm not surprised that some parts needed replacing, most of us would need spare parts if we were the age of that rifle.  Roll Eyes

I wish I had some more news but not yet. I'm busy getting ready for my Colorado project. Joseph should have it just about finished as far as what he can do until he gets the stock from Gail at CPA. Then he will inlet and dress the wood down to an even wood to metal fit. Joseph is a perfectionist so I can't wait to see it. 
As soon as he sends me some pictures I will post them.
Mike

I almost want to send it out and have the Sharps light engraving that was standard on the engraved Borchardts done up but not sure yet. Plenty of time still for that if I decided to go that way.

I spoke with Gail yesterday and paid for my stock profiling. She will have it finished today or Saturday at the latest and then ship it off to Joseph. She also made a flat round palm rest out of the same Turkish blank for me. This should turn out to be a very nice rifle.

Gail at CPA just emailed me pics of the new butt stock and has sent it out to Joseph for fitting. This should turn out really nice.
