Hello Tom Reed,
It took me a very long time to find a set of plans and I eventually found a chap in the USA who had a set that were drawn up to go with a castings kit of parts. That company is no longer in business. As I said in an earlier post there were a lot of dimensional errors and a few missing dimensions as well. However, a fullset of plans that I understand have been ammended and corrected are available from the Buffalo Arms Co in the USA. They have a website and sell just about everything you could wish for if you are a Black Powder Shooter. Dave Gullo the owner, is an international Long Range black powder rifle shooter. He also has/had, sets of plans for Browning Hi-Wall, Remington Rolling Block, Rem. Heppburn and a few others. I believe the price is in the region of $90.00 per set, but I haven't been on his site for a while. These drawings are full size engineering drawings
The ASSRA Archivist sells sets of A4 size plans for the same rifles, but not the Borchardt. You would have to get a copy shop to enlarge them for you but at $10.00 a set they are cheap to buy. I have seen several of them and they are really good. Google ASSRA and go to the Home Page and look up the archivist's contact details. For anyone interested in single shot rifles, the ASSRA Forum is a mine of information. Oh yes. ASSRA = American Single Shot Rifle Association. Bolt Actions, Semi-Auto's and Black Rifles please go elsewhere. This association is purely for single shot rifles designed and made between the end of your Civil War and WW1 or identical replicas of the same. I hope this info helps.
Regards,
Harry
