Anyone disassembled a Borchardt?
My question has specifically to do with how the dust covers are retained. I'm guessing here......somehow, I think, the inner part of the frame had to have been recessed so that the 'T' bolt portion was flush when the covers were in place. Otherwise it appears the roller bearings couldn't clear the inside during cocking/recoil. I can't figure how they could mill the inside to do that. Never having seen the insides, I have no clue what they did. Any thoughts, ideas, facts, opinions, ...or SWAG (scientific wild as...ed guess)? Bill
