Tony, I think you missed the fact that TAC's British tongue in cheek humor intentionallly mispelled the word "clever"... in his response to me... he's a personal friend of mine... and a highly qualified technical resource to the forum... there are some that don't understand or appreciate his humor, but once you get to know and understand him... he's a hoot.

There are very few Borchardt owners among the forum membership.

Screen Names of some of them that come to mind are:
Albert (Beliard),
Ron Wood,
Lugers Down Under (Murray Willis)
and perhaps Russ (Withem)
...and perhaps some others...

I would do a forum search for "Borchardt", and read up on what has been posted about them. You should identify several others, if not all of the borchardt owners using this technique... you can then inquire using the Private Message feature and invite them to look and comment.

Also, not all members visit every day... I would suggest that you give your post a few more days for responses before you give up...

My only caution to you is that I know that there is some very hot ammunition on the market that is case compatible with the borchardt ammo, but is dangerously too high in pressure... Make sure that any ammo that you might use is designed for the borchardt, and not a later, more modern steel firearm.

Good Luck.

I have no idea what you paid for it, but I wish it were mine!... a functional gun that was the inspiration for the Luger... That is my kind of wall hanger!
