Glenn,
"These complete Model 1878 Sharps Borchardt Machinist Drawings have all the detail it takes to make a complete rifle or just that part your rifle is missing. Drawings for the Zischang double set triggers are also included. All the angles and radii, measurements, screw threads etc. These would also make interesting framed conversation pieces to decorate your loading room. These complete drawings are large blue print size pages. "

these plans are the same set that were drawn in 2000 by the Moeller Machine and tool Co., then it isn't possible to build a Borchardt action or either the Zischchang or Zika DST's from them alone. A lot of dimensions are missing, some are incorrect, and some can only be deduced by consulting several of the drawings and doing some calculations.
I have the Moeller Borchardt Drawings (7 in all) each roughly 3'x2' A whole page is devoted to each of the DST's. As you may have seen elsewhere on this 'Board' I am building a copy of this rifle action.
If it were not for the help of some very generous friends who have supplied me with dimensions taken from their own rifles and supplied a copious number of photographs, my project would have ground to a halt weeks ago.
I cannot comment on the plans offered by Buffalo Arms as I haven't seen them, and as far as I am aware no reader of this 'Board' has. I wish someone had, we could compare notes, to see if in fact they are one and the same.
The ASSRA Archive have 'sketch drawings' of both DST's for US$ 3.00 that provide exactly the same dimension information. But as I mentioned above many measurements are missing.
