Canvas bows
« on: May 04, 2023, 03:24:39 PM »
I was going to try and make some canvas bows this summer and have found the measurements for the extensions  but does anyone have a rough radius for the bends. I seems that  some have used 1/2 met for the bows. Anyone have pics of them installed on their tracks with out the canvas. I’m doing them for an m3. Thanks.

Here you go, David. The sketch is of measurements taken from an NOS bow. They're made of hollow spring steel. Let me know if you need anything more.
