Borchardt
 
does anybody know how to strip down a Borchardt?

George welcome to the forum. I do not know.

Many times most guns do not need to be stripped all the way down, you can lightly disassemble one and clean it.

do you have one? is it nasty?

There are folks here that can help, but maybe some more info before they write a 2 page disertation ;)

I have one with the mainspring either broken or detached. also it has been re-blued but they did not polish the markings so they are sharp and clear but I need to remove the blue and turn it into a gray gun which will match the well worn grips and magazine. So I need to take it completely apart thanks George

See the expanded 3rd edition (page 26) or later of the Gun DigestBook of Exploded Firearms Drawing for diagram and disassembly instructions. TH

I hope your mainspring is just detached and isn't broken. Those things are as hard to find as unicorn poo.

Tom, glad you could provide a reference for disassembly. I knew I had seen one somewhere but had no idea where. I took my first one apart without instructions and I was on pins and needles the whole time.

This is the real thing - I think and hope: but I am interested in who made the reproductions and when were they made and how do the differ from the originals and how much are the worth?

I think my "signature" has clouded the waters again. Since I am primarily an Imperial era Luger collector, my tag line "If it's made after 1918...it's a reproduction" is a weak attempt at humor.

OK, you never know about things today but I thought it would cost more to make a repo Borchardt then a real one cost but today everything can be reproduced. I just bought a nice copy of a Colt Lightning Rifle made by Taurus and it costs 400.00

thanks for your help I just got a copy of exploded handgun drawings and there is complete break down of the Borchardt it does not tell how to take it apart but a least I can see the relationship of how the parts fit in the gun. I have taken apart many lugers and so I am going to give it a try. Gail Morgan can always put it back togeather if I can not but I have only had one gun that I could not repair and that was a Miller trigger on a LC Smith

Sebastian, I would guess that Gale has rebuilt more Borchards than most of us have seen. TH
