CFM chuck123wapati Posted Sunday at 05:16 PM CFM Report Posted Sunday at 05:16 PM My son bought a new rifle and showed me this clicker-stamped sew-on thing on the net, actually said it was handcrafted. I didn't know running a clicker press was considered a craft. Well, anyway, it can be done differently, especially for a Henry lol. The 1/4" veg tan lace, skived and burnished, took about an hour of prep. Finished with real sinew, stained Bison brown.

Members Thadrick Posted Sunday at 07:56 PM Members Report Posted Sunday at 07:56 PM Looks a lot better than mine. Those big boys are awesome! I've had two now in 44mag and even my g daughter loves shooting them. My newest lever action is a rossi in 454 casull and it's a kick in the shorts but the rossi isn't that impressive when it comes to feeding. The Henry feeds so much better. Quote

At least it's a bit different. It's a sweet gun for sure, his is 45 70, it'll launch a water bottle lol. 2 hours ago, DieselTech said: Nice work. It looks great. Thank you.

Members Thadrick Posted Sunday at 10:47 PM Members Report Posted Sunday at 10:47 PM I watched a friend shoot a buffalo three times through the lungs with a 4570 and it didnt even grunt. Then the herd started running and we had to take it down with a 338 ultra. So if your buffalo hunting, head shots are where its at. Sorry, Im just remembering the good ol days. LOL Quote

Members MarshalWill Posted Monday at 04:31 PM Members Report Posted Monday at 04:31 PM (edited) That looks great, Chuck. I never did like those commercial lever crap wraps. I like something that doesn't shift around when it's used. I've made all mine by doing a simple double wrap but I like the look of yours better. Very nice job, pard. Here's what mine look like. At least until I need another one, now. Even these had a tendency to slide around the lever until I started with one loop around the trigger guard area. Edited Monday at 04:32 PM by MarshalWill Quote
