Butt Cover For A Very Old Lady

[gunslinger]

Used 7 oz. veg tan for both cover and sling, stamped cover with X596 Basketweave and D435 Border. Stamped the sling with X596 Basketweave, D435 Border and U710 Mulefoot between each of the D435 border stamps. Applied 3 coats of Mahogany Eco-Flo Leather and burnished the edges with Gum Tragacanth and beeswax also applied light coat of hand rubbed olive oil as a final finish.

Nice work! I'm impressed by how well you've formed this to the butt of the gun. Is there a trick to this? I also like how you've attached the sling. I'll be stealing your method when I try my hand at this!

OUTSTANDING, I'm a little late to this topic but I have a Henry .22lr I've been thinking about making a sling for. Your design looks like it may fit the bill and I also will be stealing it (I have no shame). Could we possibly get a close up of where the sling attaches to the barrel? Great work and great design.

Sure I can upload a close up for you it will be later this afternoon or early evening. I used a 4 oz. strip insterted between barrel and magazine tube with a d ring attached, the entire strip and ring is attached with a Chicago screw. Go ahead and use the idea that's why I posted it and it will be perfect for your Henry, I have used it on my Marlin Golden 39 as well with no problems......

Just Beautiful! Great idea too. I think my rifle needs this made.

Thank you.
