Do you think there’ll be enough done for the waitlist peeps?

Limited Run Bowcaster Parts Run (Front Sight, Barrel Mount, Barrel Support/Hinge, Trigger Cover, Scope Mount, and More)
- Thread starter Jawajawa827
- Start date
I should have enough of everything but the barrel mounts for anyone on waitlists. I do plan to get more material to make them after I finish the current list parts.
I will keep everyone on the waitlists updated for when parts are available for them.

Yep, I need a trigger too. Haven't heard of a run for them.
Hi, I am part of this run, and I decided to do the trigger assembly myself to finish my Bowcaster prop project. I made two, one for my Bowcaster and another one for another friend of mine. I used a real Horton Trigger assembly to make mine, here are some pictures where you can see the original Horton Trigger assembly and the aluminum one I made. I am also making the rear clips which are made of stainless steel. Please private message me if you guys are interested on both the trigger and clip.

Where does the reference picture come from? It does not show the actual screenused BC IMHO, since the cord/ wire wrapped around the frame is too thin.
Has it been confirmed that a metal sling hook was used?
Nice trigger Manny, PM sent
Here are the stainless steel real stock clips I had to make. I didn't want to make that many, but the set up time was too expensive at my local sheet metal shop to just make 2 or 3 clips. I'm offering each clip for $30.00, two machine screws will be included. The holws will fit 6-32 screws, or 6 sheet metal or wood screws. These will fit any frame. I think now we all be able to finish our Bowcasters' prop projects soon.

Thank you Andy, your help in this project have been of so valuable. This is definitely one of the most difficult SW props to complete, so many different parts and very little sources and information. Thank you to the people who made this possible.
Thank you, I have to thanks big time my local machine shop, they are always willing to help me on my projects, even if they take longer to get the parts done is worth the wait.

Hi guys, I am planing to have my local machine shop to start the trigger assembly packs Monday March 22nd. This will give time to other people decide if they want the trigger assembly. I don't going to have the machine shop to make extras since these are not cheap to produce and they charge a set up fee. So far there are 8 people that signed up. I can't wait to finish the Bowcaster. Tim's parts are looking great.
The teamwork on this project is awesome! Thanks to all who picked up the baton and help all of us have an accurate Bowcaster! This is what this forum is about and I feel this kind of teamwork has faded a bit. It’s nice to see we’re still here for each other! Thanks again! - Chad

Just wanted to update everyone on the scope mounts.
I have been working with the machining company these past few weeks and I'm excited to say that they are going to be made of folded steel sheet metal which is the original process these were made and will be as close to the originals as possible!
Thank you everyone for your support and I'll share some pics of the cad files soon!

Here's the pictures of the new fully sheet metal scope mount in cad form
I also got a bunch of trigger covers finished up as well this weekend!
