C. Sharps and Shiloh Manufacturing were, in the distant past, a single entity. While common sense indicate that if their M1874 Sharps side hammer actions, locks, and trigger assemblies were made by the same manufacturing company, that their current parts' specifications would [still] be identical - despite C. Sharps machining from bar stock while Shiloh machines investment castings.

Are their actions, locks, and/or trigger assemblies interchangeable with no more fitting required than when each manufacturer creates a rifle?

They were not made by the same Manufacturing Company.
