45 Bullet Concho on stirrup

[wood]

Kathy, I did a yahoo search for Waylon Wike Saddles and the ad came up on ranchworld ads. It has a phone number and info to get a hold of him.

The saddle shown above is mine, or was until I sold it. The shells are 357 cut down and mounted in leather

I also made a followup saddle with 45lc shells

See the Show off section for pics of the new saddle

Hi Ron,

It says .38 SPL on the case heads, some are +P, none are .357 MAG. I guess you would know if it was yours though. The ones on the stirrup are .44 Mag.

Hi Art

Boy do you have a good eye. All 38 caliber ammunition can be shot from a 357 including 38, 38 special and 38+p as well of course 357.

I have always referred to them as 357 which is wrong.It has been almost 30 years since I shot this caliber.

Here is the address to my webpage for more picture of this saddle

This saddle was designed around the Idea of placing shells onto a saddle somehow, so I came up with this idea.

The stirrups at the top of the tread are not mine if someone got confused , but I like them might have to copy the idea.

Interesting seeing pics come from unrelated sites and showing up here.

Hi Ron,

Being a benefactor life member of the NRA, I doubt I need much instruction on ammo. I was getting to the fact that the customer (when buying custom) may want to specify the head stampings wanted on an item like this. They might want them the same or all different. Don't know how it is with saddles, but with gunbelts, the customer can get very particular as the rig can also be a fashion statement. With gunbelts they usually want Winchester or Remington and in "their" caliber. If they use .45LC they want .45 Colt and not .44 even though the loops are identical. With everyone reloading and using Starline and Top Brass cases, it can make it a little hard to find a Winchester round.
