FOR SALE: Authentic Brass Bullet Rivets (all calibers)

Recommended Posts

Fun little project here. Built this holster for dad's Rock Island .45 (1911 model).

Pancake style holster made from 8-9 oz. cowhide, LINED with glazed pigskin.

I made the BULLET RIVETS myself.

They actually turned out perfect and apply to leather VERY well, very tight.

After shooting a few rounds with the gun, I just cut them down on my lathe......fun stuff.

I have a BUNCH of these rivets made up (well a few sets more than what you see here in the pics).....and I am happy to sell them. You would be surprised to find out they are a bit TEDIOUS to make. You REALLY want the bullet ends to be cut perfectly, otherwise they would sit crooked on the leather surface. Therefore I cut these in my small lathe. I had to build a small JIG for EACH caliber (all different sizes) to hold the brass cartridge.....otherwise, they would be crushed in the lathe chuck.

Sizes available: .38, .44, .45

Pack of 10 Bullet Rivets: $50 (plus $5 shipping)

Pack of 5 Bullet Rivets: $30 (plus $5 shipping)

Anyways, if you want some, let me know.

Cheers,

Ryan Wasson

Yeah, unfortunately, I have to chuck the slug end of the cartridge, not the primered end. When this is done, the chuck just smashes the thin walled cartrdige. Therefore I had to make jigs to fit inside the cartridges so they won't collapse.
