Hello LRF,
The article I got from Rudi Prusok, the ASSRA Archivist some three or so years ago. I't only a page and a half long. As far as I am aware it isn't available on the www.
If you PM me with your Email address I'll try and scan a copy and send it to you.

The action sold - at a very good price for the buyer in my opinion.

I agree $1650.00 isn't bad for a set trigger Borchardt action, especially one that looks as good as that. They aren't common, although a lot of actions were cut for the DST which was never actually fitted. Harry

I have not been able to trace any reference to this adjusting screw mechanism prior to 1946, and I strongly suspect that, whilst several of these sear engagement adjusting screws are known to exist on Zischang Borchardts, they were fitted long after the Master had passed on.Harry
I have Mr. Niedner's Borchardt in caliber .38-72 with a Stevens-Pope barrel that dates to circa 1906. Tom Shelhamer had this rifle with the tools for sale in August of 1925 and it has the adjustment screw. I have no way to know when it did sell. I feel confident that it's the work of Mr. Niedner but don't know when it was done. Although the rifle came with the original Niedner mould and breech-seater I don't think it was shot much or any at all. The person I got it from or the one before him did not want all the paperwork that came with it and told that person to keep it and I've never found him. I would be surprised to find an adjustment screw on a Zischang with DST's. Does the rifle pictured have DST's? The .38-72 Pope is next to the Maynard Long Range.

Michael, I have seen a photograph of some of the single shot rifles that LRF has scratch built, now he has a set of Borchardt Plans, I fully expect he will have built his before I have finished mine. Sadly, I cannot stand in front of my machines for more than a half hour a day, before my back gives out. One of the curses of getting old I suppose. I first thought about scratchbuilding a Borchardt some 40+ years ago, when I retired I started work on it, now I am well on the way to finishing it, it's going to be a race between me and the Grim Reaper as to who gets their job finished first. lol.
