Pics of a Borchardt Zischang in 32-40,built by Argus Barker.He built everything,action,barrel,etc. Only the two wood screws holding on the hook were bought.The checkering done by A friend of his. In order to not screw up the checkering I build A palm rest plate out of Zericote with brass .Easily removed for offhand with out the palm rest.

I think the correct spelling of the wood is "ziricote". Lovely gun in any case.

Beautifil rifle! And you are correct about the spelling of Ziricote, it's beautful stuff though having built more than a few guitars with it it can be troublesome to work with.Crazy expensive these days too!

If we are going to be PICKY and play teacher, It's scientific name is Cordia dodecandra, or by it's common name Ziricote, Ciricote, or Siricote. It would appear one could use the phonetic spelling of their choice. Perhaps even Zericote with a capitol Z. Krag with a K.

Compulsively in for a penny, in for a pound. "Zischang" has no "e" on the end.

It is in fact, one fine rifle. I don't think there was a finer craftsman than Zischang in is time. To be able to replicate his work is commendable. Ron Long was another capable of all aspects.

Bill was ragging on the poor spelling not his rifle. I'm with Bill a hundred percent.

Well if I took my time I'd be A better speller...but picking on A keyboard has never been my "thang"...
Yes Joe, Rich has this rifle now. I will be shooting 25-20 OH this year. Best I can do. I still have my other "beater " Zichang( no E) in 32 Ideal,may be rebarreled to 25-35.My English Hiwall is a 25-20 short barrel now.

This rifle looks even better leaning against a bookcase here. It fits perfectly, hangs very steady on target, and is just gorgeous.
enjoy, gentlemen...

Joe I was actually wondering.the same thing.
Nothing against Rich personally and he appears to purchasing a nice collection of Schuetzen Rifles recently and God Bless Him.
But hopefully they are not just now sitting in a Safe and not being used for their intended purposes.
