Dear Members,

For my own use I want to build a Sharps Mod 1875.
I know that only 1 original 1875 exist. I know that Lozita-Wolf made some of these actions at very close to the original. I was looking for his website but it seems that it`s not exist anymore.
Is there anyone that have drawings or a 3D cad file of the 1875 action??

Thanks in advance.

Last I knew, C. Sharps Arms made and sold 1875 Sharps and had been known to sell action in the past.

Actions and barreled actions available also.

LRF,
That`s the one I want to build.
I don`t like the actions from csharps, to plain
and without the safety catch.
Here a picture of the Lozito wolf action ( still available??)

Las I heard Joe was working very slowly because he was unwell, I have a friend who has a Sharps Borchardt modified by Zischang in his workshop, the work was supposed to be done in a couple of weeks but that must be a year or more ago. Beautiful work but very expensive.

Harry,

Is there a possibility to ask your friend of he can ask
Joe of there is anything for sale from the 1875 action??
A drawing or a cad file .

Regards.

SM64,

You have a PM. There must be a glitch in the system here, It took me 8 attempts to log in. I got it right each time but as soon as I got to making a reply there was that message again. Please Log in. AAGGGGHHHHHHHHH.As far as either of us is aware he is not offering anything remotely like plans for sale, after all they could be going to a competitor, that's not good for business. Joe is very expensive his standard Borchardt Actions cost $3,500 dollars and they aren't heat treated. That's more than a complete rifle from some makers.


Harry

Harry,

Thanks for your help.
I understand the concerns regarding competition
but it`s definitely for my own use.
I build already the 1874 and the 1878 ( see picture ) here fore I had some
examples from drawings and exploding views. But from the 1875 I can`t find anything.




Regards.

That is beautiful work. Excellent craftsmanship. Won't ask how many hours, because I have been there. Welcome to the club of crazy people that can see a rifle action in a block of steel. Did you also do the wood work, which is excellent?
