Gentlemens:
Shucks, I did not even know that there was such a thing as an octagon topped Borchardt. Sure, now you tell me after I already have the round barrel.
Were any Borchardts made with "Rigby flats"? I will be using a round barrel and have toyed with the idea of Rigby flats. Mayhaps they would be best saved for a Ballard...
In any event, thanks for the pictures. I will save them with the rest for future reference.

Hello Glen,
There are a very few modified Borchardt rifles with Rigby Flats.
The two below are from my files. One is a custom engraved and modified original action, the other is a 'Scratch Build' made by the Dutchman Leon Kranen, who I may add, has been of very great help to me in building mine, even if all his measurements are in 'Metric'. Machining Rigby Flats on a round barrel must be a nightmare.
