Looks like a Moyer's to me, short "legs" on the spacer, the trigger guard is for sure. :-\

The trigger guard appears to have the same gap at the rear where the little finial is, it should fit against the frame instead of ¼" away, that's one of the things I tried to get Moyer's to correct, along with the general quality of fit which was terrible, it looked fine once it was done, but it took a lot of work beside the shaping and finishing just to start polishing the metal. If it's not Moyer's, he may be using Moyer's as a form to make his mold.

Take your best shot, I've sent 3 sets of spacers and trigger guards off to three different people who said they were going to make them, and offered to do the same with Moyer's after sending him detailed pics of the problems, so far none have come thru, good luck.  :-\

He just listed another spacer. I checked other items he's sold and their all cast metal parts.

Maybe this guy will be different?

If his part is actually a finished part and fits good, that's a decent price, just depends on how it actually fits.

Hey Gendoc

Thanks for the pm, I also would be interested to know how easy it would be to fit for those people like myself  who are 'tool challenged' ::)

And then all I have to do is convince customs that this part won't turn my rifle into an assault weapon  :o and I might just get one into the country ;D

I bought one from him last fall.  I am still looking for a BC 45-70 forend to put it on.  The two blued ones came off snap on forends.  The shiny one I got just as you see it.  I don't have a plastic one to compare it to.  The parts of it that show are finished very nicely.

Here's another member ready for a bronze spacer.  And I don't even have a Handi 'rifle' yet, just shotguns.

Glad your doing this.  We appreciate quality work.

I bought one of these forend spacers on eBay and am very pleased with it. It's a perfect fit, comes polished to a mirror, and compliments the effort I put into my custom zebra wood stocks. When the brass trigger guard becomes available, I'll buy it right away. I'd also like to have a brass hammer if and when that becomes available.

My BC .45 Carbine and my Shortie Maxi are junping up and down yelling "We want them!!!"  I'm bookmarking this thread, and when the trigger guard is up and running, I'll order two of each.  Thanks for your hard work and commitment to quality.

Got one the other day.  Beautiful.!  Will get another for the next gun I build with an aftermarket stock.

Very pleased with this item...

FYI... I ordered DIRECTLY thru PMs and email via this site.  Not ebay...
