    So I’ve come into ownership of a Barrett BORS system on an NF 8-32.

    Obviously this item is discontinued and getting service help from Barrett is a complete dead end. And I quote “when that department got dissolved, they took everything with them”. 🤦‍♂️

    So, I’m trying to find two things or any information leading to…..

    1) Looking for a copy of the BORS software to be able to update and upload cartridge info to the BORS.

    2) Looking for the USB cable. Apparently it’s proprietary and no longer made. But if I can find enough details about it, might be able to have a new one made.

    So any and all info is appreciated. I’m willing to pay over value if anyone has one or either of these…..

    Unfortunately the USB cable will be the hardest part. They use a proprietary pin-out and even Barrett doesn’t have the information for them anymore. You might get lucky and find someone who has one they don’t need.
    I can help you with the software, but not sure if that helps really. But happy to send

    Sorry for the late response. Can you email the software? [email protected]
    Thank you

    Amazing what these still go for given the other options out there. Also amazing is the developers not having gone forward with further iterations to compete with other options available.
