i think it is cool and has some real potential as a pattern a guy that now has some leather could perfect a bit.

i buy sides.

your lucky to have someone that actually uses and tests these things in real world settings, i have thrown out a few of those cartridge holder butt stock things in my day when i got back to camp with only half of my shells.

looks like your a darn lucky little shit to me lol.

interesting design for sure and nice looking . much better than the open style cartridge holders I've lost a lot rounds before i gave them up. i have seen and used similar belt types for rifle bullets but they use a pocket instead of individual holders.

yes you can but it also dries to hard and stiff imo use contact cement its the right choice. I used to use it to glue the thread ends also before I realized i really didn't need to.

yes there is a huge pine tree across the street that they have nested in for years and years. we look forward to their return every spring, I don't know if its the same pair or their kids but they come back every spring. Its so much fun watching them and the young Deer grow up. it rained last night and two young fawns just had a great time running around in it. The town i live in, Rawlins, was an end of tracks town built during the time union pacific rail was set across the US so trains are a part of life here. Gillette is about 300 miles north of me and btw where my wife grew up. I imagine they are mothballed because of the loss of coal mining in Gillette, its a shame the way our world is being destroyed but i wont go there today lol. it pisses me off. Here are some of my shots of one the last and largest steam engine (Big Boy) and another smaller in the us she came through a few years ago on her maiden voyage since being rebuilt and thousands of folks followed her stopping at each town along the trip. They are so cool!! the video isnt mine!

good idea!

interesting and cost effective how do you get the dimensions

they would have to be wrapped well for sure for casting, i wonder what the cost of 3d would be just in the plastic needed from what i have read its kind of costly also.

I didn't know if he understood the intricate type of forming needed for the type being made as he doesn't make holsters. Western , hunting, cc or IWb are all different characters and he may not be aware of the differences. yea when i make a custom holster i use the owners weapon or one of mine if i have the same one. I cant afford those prices either. But I don't make the type that needs that kind of forming most folks out here want hunting rigs not cc fighting rigs. Aluminum is a good choice for homemade copies, you can get lawn mower engines for free most times and sand casting is pretty easy. but then what does you time cost to find the aluminum clean and melt it then cast it up. plus buy or make the tools to do it.

he was back again today now i have to make perch so he can get a drink.

great looking set indeed.

They found a foot and sneaker in one of the hot pools in Yellowstone last year. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/dead-man-whose-foot-was-found-yellowstone-hot-spring-identified-rcna57806

toxo blue guns are exact replicas of the gun so real guns don't have to be used. the wet forming process of the type holster he makes uses the forming as the friction that holds the weapon secure in the holster, its not for looks necessarily so the fit has to be exact. I think that's the part you aren't understanding of the question. The sewing also has to be tight and exact along the lines of the guns so the leather doesn't lose its form and fit as time goes on.

saw this youngun on the pool edge yesterday wondering how to get a drink. It is one of two chicks born this year and It just learned to fly. The second picture is from about 15 feet away.

really nice work. I'm not a fan of easy off holsters, not that it matters, when i carry I'm far to active but it sure looks nice.

if the owner likes it then you did good.

have you tried gluing it then molding then sewing.

you have only touched on the tip of the iceberg my friend. 5g isn't for us its for them!

That's a group to be proud of!! my Beeman rs3 knock off and mil dot scope wont do that well but my Beeman p-17 pistol is darn accurate and has an awesome trigger that is better than most handguns. What is really nice about the cheap ammo, all the used pellets get turned into round balls for my BP pistol. I use little steel rams out doors with the rifle and indoors a ten meter pellet trap with the pistol.

Back about 1985 i bought this old 67 beat up ford Bronco, it was the Ford version of a Jeep but it had the ford three speed tranny and the Ford 9" rear diff that was the standard hook up for Ford street rods back then. It came with a gutless 289 ci v8 so i figured a nice 351 ci Windsor would help out a bit in the power department. I.m not one for looks but i do fix all the mechanics lol and this old 351 was a brute out of an68 Merc. It made a real sleeper as they call them lol. One evening while out driving a close friend pulled up to me in his new Dodge Charger and his new girl friend,. He jokingly bumped the throttle once to ask for a race we both bumped the throttle twice to say ok then on three i downshifted and gave it to her when i shifted again back into third i was a half car length ahead my tires chirped and i was gone LOL. He pulled up to me at the next light " Damn that thing is fast" His gal was laughing and he didn't talk to me again for weeks never tried to race me again. Top end with 4:11 gears was only about 70 but it didn't take long to get there.

Fun times indeed, reminds me of the old red neck saying "hold my beer and watch this!" lol sounds like my old Jeep, manual steering manual brakes meaning both feet if your over 50 mph. Wish i had an old Landy they are to cool. I love old iron!!

True friends are hard to come by for sure you are a lucky man to have had such a good one. That's awesome work my friend!!! That is one cool air rifle, all i could ever afford was a cheapo beeman knock off .22 but i taught my kids to shoot with it and still shoot it at camp to keep the eyes sharp lol. A friend gave my a .20 cal silver streak last winter it has a beautiful walnut stock, better than most modern rifles have. Not many air gunners around here, its cheaper and easier to buy a firearm.

With three pieces of leather that thing has more stitches than Frankenstein's Bu** lol, that took some work. my self i would sew it on the same as any belt loop on that type of holster along the top and along the bottom or maybe even a rectangle about 1 3/4" wide x whatever length of the back piece don't let the shape throw you.
