Thinking of a Custom Build on a BRC Borchardt (Read 4584 times)

	I have a Borchardt Rifle Company rifle. Currently it is a .45-70 built as a sporter configuration, not a target rifle. I just can't get excited about it for some reason. However, I love the action. I'm thinking about a re-build to a classic sporter in 9.3x74R. Can someone recommend a gunsmith who does magic with a Sharps-Borchardt build? Thanks, Curl

	Curt Hardcastle has a shop just down the road from BRC and he can do wonders with a Borchardt. He rebuilt an original for me in a 30/40 Krag Improved that shoots lights out and looks just as good. His handle here is Singleshotsam. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Tom

	I have a Borchardt built by Curt Hardcastle and it's a beautiful piece of work and quite accurate. I shot my highest scoring 1000 yard target with that rifle. Chris.

	Here is one of my personal favorites. This rifle was built by John Wills (Anchorage, AK). The metalwork and woodwork are his own. This was his personal rifle and built on an original military action. it is chambered in .40-65.
