Members MarshalWill Posted January 13, 2024 Members Report Posted January 13, 2024 Beautiful tooling. Looks good. Very nice work. What function does the hole in the middle of the strap fulfill? Quote

Some say a little easier to sling the rifle. 4 hours ago, BigBore said: Stunning work! Thank you Quote
