Members longtooth Posted April 3, 2013 Members Report Posted April 3, 2013 Made this for a S/W MP40. Almost finished. Needs some dye work and edge paint. Opinions appreciated. Quote
Members renegadelizard Posted April 3, 2013 Members Report Posted April 3, 2013 Looks pretty good....i might move the stitch line on the reinforcement overlay a little closer th the edge...i like mine right at 3/16 or a little under....good material choice, ostrich rocks... Quote
Members mmn Posted April 3, 2013 Members Report Posted April 3, 2013 Curious why you made the reinforcement so long - almost the length of the barrel. Also, would like to see the back. (So I can copy it! lol). Regards Michael Quote
Members longtooth Posted April 3, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 3, 2013 Thank you all for the response. As per your request MMN. Sending two more. Quote
Members Colt Hammerless Posted April 3, 2013 Members Report Posted April 3, 2013 Longtooth, it looks like you dyed the edges of the ostrich/reinforcement black. What did you use on it? Did you have any problems with it bleeding further into the ostrich? Paul Quote
Members mikesmith648 Posted April 3, 2013 Members Report Posted April 3, 2013 I would suggest dying before sewing to preserve the thread color.........JMHO Quote
Members longtooth Posted April 3, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 3, 2013 I used military black from Angelus dye company. On the thread color I wanted the thread to be close to the color of the body of the holster. I don't like white thread. I feel it takes away from the overall look of the holster. Quote
