@DaveP here is a close up of one of the caps. I used 2 pieces of 2-3oz. For the tubular section. 

That's awesome, thanks for posting these.  I just got a M84 scope for my M1D Garand, and I was thinking of making a scope cover for it.  Good Job, it looks great!

Thanks. It's a game-changer, for sure.

Nice work. I'm gonna try to duplicate the scope covers. I did make a riser with cartridge holder similar to yours. I used the Wyoming-legal Pro Dye, it worked great. The whole thing was made from scraps. The cartridge holder has them pointed forward. The flap hides the shine.  I really admire the use of different dyes to match the camo laminate!

Nice. I like the cut_back at the rest of the riser. I measured the circumference and then subtracted 1/8"... It stretched and made the stitches look like crap but I was afraid of them slipping off inadvertently. 

 

I was messing with gradient dying and it happened to work, thanks for noticing.
