Your Borchardt would indeed qualify for the traditional class under ASSRA, ISSA and WSU rules. Except for a few details, the requirements for traditional Schuetzen rifles are the same for all three organizations. A copy of the ISSA traditional rules can be accessed at:

Bottom line for Schuetzen traditional class is your rifle, sights, etc. must be pre-1917 or reproduction thereof. Exception is made for scopes with external elevation and windage adjustments such as Lyman and Unertl. Adding your own double set triggers is perfectly acceptable as long as they are not electronic 

Like Jerry, I'd suggest the Borchardt, in 33/47 with a heavy 14 twist barrel.

The lock time can be sped up with a little heavier spring and a Titanium or, composite (tool steel sear threaded to a aluminum body, with a steel FP) and a #4 x 40 sear adjustment screw. You can also shorten the striker fall that way. The striker isn't hard to make. 

The stock trigger can be reworked, very easily to <1/2 - 1 lb pull, in conjunction with a new striker as described above. Single triggers also have faster lock times than SS or DST. 

As for butt stocks, I use a original style, copy of a Sharps Mid Range that is a excellent BR stock.

I interpret the rules to not allow cartridges in existence after the 1917 cut off date.
Was a 33-30 developed/used prior to the date?
"Currently there are no restrictions placed upon any equipment other than the rifles, sights, cartridges, and loading techniques."
Here is a link to the rule book;

I hope this clarifies and perhaps the ASSRA Schuetzenmeister will add info.
Take Care,

The .33-47 to which Frank was referring is the .32-40 expanded to fit a .33 cal (.338?) chamber.

Thanks for your reply . As far as barreling and action work I get as much enjoyment out of doing this work as  I do out of shooting them . This rifle will be my winter project to keep my mind from rusting .

Sounds not only as being a fun and very enjoyable winter project but also a very rewarding one when all is said and done Dale's and I do wish you the very best of times while building it. Even more so in taking it out and accomplishing the goals you are now setting for yourself and may it also become a very enjoyable and rewarding experience for you as well.

If you have your heart set on 33 cal, I think your stuck with the 33/47 as that is the only traditional chambering, that I know of for 33 cal's.

What I have used for my 33 is a 357 Max case. The 357 Max case, is a dead ringer for the 38 XL but, even though my Borchardt qualifys in every other way I wouldn't try to use it as a small groove 38 XL in Traditional.

That said, if the ASSRA and ISSA has ruled that the CPA 32/20 and the guy's that call their .321 groove, 32/30's traditional are legal, you should be able to say that a 33 cal is just a large groove 32 cal and use the Max case just as the 321 groove 32/30's do. Some original 32 cals were close to 33 cal.

But, I don't know that there has ever been a ruling on what the tolerance is on groove diameter in the Traditional class. Maybe both organizations should do that.

If your open to 30 cal, they can be made on the 32/20 and 357 Max case (32/30). I shot a .308 groove, 32/35 (.400 case head, 1 7/8 long) for 10 years with great success. They are all .312 groove cals. There is also a original 28 cal on the 25/20SS case.

Dave not sure what mean being only attached to one tang. The CPA's I have worked on are attached to both the top tang and the lower tang?
