Hello gentlemen,
Many thanks for the warm welcome, I've been pottering around building a Sharps Borchardt Action fron scratch for some time, but my Arthritis is giving me some stick at the moment. lol. You can see my progress here:- http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k206/Rifleman_01/
Ignore the countryside scenes, they are of a local Red Grouse Moor, also ignore the completed Borchardt Rifle, I was advising the owner on rebuilding it, it came out very well indeed. All the other Borchardt bits and pieces are my own work. It's great fun building a rifle action especially when you only have an X2 mini mill and a 7 x 12 bench top lathe. It's slow work, but I'm getting there. It's a race between the Grim Reaper and myself as to who gets done first. lol. In the meantime it's fun devising ways of doing things that can't be done easily today as much of the machining was done on machines that no longer exist. By the way, I am to photography what Adolf Hitler was to World Peace, not very good at it.
