This started out as my own personal thing that I like and had no clue others felt the same way. I detest The cartridge loops on rifle stocks I have lost ammo in g to be woods so I made a simple ammo wallet that fits in my pants or shirt pocket. A friend saw it now a lot of guys want it The darker of the 2 is my personal 308 wallet, The lighter is for a friend it holds 30 06 The 3rd, being cut out is a 7mm ultra mag.

Sorry ArkieNewbie explaining “how to” in type is not easy for a guy with ADD and ADDHD. With out a Harley I start at the bottom slot sew it, Fold the free end. “Tag”. From the first. Slot. Up to the second slot. Fold over 1/2”, place under the card cut out place a second piece of card slot material inbeteen the fold. Sew that At that point you have a completed slot for the lower card. After you have all card slots completed run a stitch line. Around all the card slots like a picture frame, this will tie the individual stitch lines under each slot together

Advice on a Reichsrevolver holster
Frodo replied to JayB's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
You will never match the color of a new leather piece to the old. The value of the holster is zero. Don’t spend money on a holster that you can not sell and recoup your funds. Go buy another holster do you need any magazines? -
I used it this morning to install a snap

Set the nut on the ground Hump a little dirt around it any excess file in off with your file

I thought this might help others 1 1/4” (6.35 mm) Brass nut lead the nut can be easily found on any old faucet I use this as a small anvil to set rivets or snaps in tight spots. It can be laid flat or stood on its edge

I have a different approach for card holders, I use a shear material for lining bags and this is what I use. I also use yellow masking tape, It makes cutting the material easier and will wear off over time place a stripe of tape on the material and cut 1- 2”x7”. Per card pocket On the bottom card slot, place your leather backside up and the material finish side up fold the material 1/2” and sew After sewing the first slot, fold the material over itself as shown, also fold as before 1/2” Slide the next strip of material between the fold. Sew Same on the next, till you get to the top tips and tricks, you can use 2 sided tape and the top one do not sew now, wait till you sew the 2 pieces of leather and sew it in between

Measurements for a holster Wet formed afterwards 1 piece of leather 161/2” x 4 1/2” measure and mark at 6”, 12” may the 6” Mark measure and mark 1” on each side of the 6” mark at the 6” mark .

Looks like I am good, for now Thanks for the helpful tips and tricks from everyone special shout out to a YouTube channel by Harry Rogers. The bobbin drop test saved my bacon I removed the tension spring from the bobbin carrier and found years worth of thread dust and dirt. Little wd40 and a q tip did the trick made a leather washer for the tension discs to sit on

I did not kno that I left the needle down and turned the foot 90 degrees
-
Wiz is spot on. And I found another issue i switched to #69 thread and was going to make another test strip but the tension was loose, would not tighten up I looked at the plates and see that a part must be missing the spring pushes down on a ? Brass tube? That tube has a shoulder that can not go any farther it lacks a 1/16” of engaging ing the tension plate

I think the 18 needle is to small for the 135 that must be the reason.
