longtooth Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Made this for a S/W MP40. Almost finished. Needs some dye work and edge paint. Opinions appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
renegadelizard Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmn Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colt Hammerless Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikesmith648 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 I would suggest dying before sewing to preserve the thread color.........JMHO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longtooth Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
