	Dave Casey delivered my Borchardt this weekend at the Butte match. Caliber is 35-40

	If I went to confession I'd have to tell a lie. The barrel is a Winchester #4 32 inches long. Dave installed a TJs liner in it. Front sight is a Mike Stevens I got from a forum member. The action frame is an original Sharps with Al Story innards. Wes Turner supplied the wood, CPA carved it and supplied the butt plate. The rear sight is a Parts unknown item from Buffalo Arms. Not sure who Dave used for heat treating. John King installed the double set triggers. The rifle has been in the works for a number of years with some setbacks but it's finally whole and I like it a lot. Dave Casey made and installed the upper tang and forestock and other than the triggers, did all the work on the rifle.

	Some some years ago, John was telling me how he was fitting high wall triggers into Borchardts. Let us know how they works as they sure look nice sitting in that action. Beautiful rifle.

	Gorgeous Borchardt Joe! Which .35-40 is it? The .32-40 blown out, or the .35-40 Maynard?

That's what my Darr barrel was originally but when it got swapped to my Rolling Block action it got rechambered for .35-40 Maynard, and I wish it was still the original .35-40 chambering. Lot easier to fire form brass for yours.

	I sized some 38-55 brass down in the C&H DT sizer die but the cases would not go all the way into the chamber. They were touching the middle of the chamber. Cutting a quarter inch off the bottom of the sizer die did the trick. Head size is .415
