Members Otto6294 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 2, 2015 Madadh.....here you go. Also, The extra thick piece on the left side of the holster is a hand grab to stabilize the holster as you are drawing the gun.....otherwise the retention around the scope from wet-molding makes the whole holster want to lift. I added that when the problem arose and it works great. If I make another, that part would be more like a hook for my left thumb. I just oiled it with neatsfoot and in a few days, I will seal it all up with some spray wax. Quote

Members Memorymode Posted December 3, 2015 Members Report Posted December 3, 2015 It looks amazing! How did you do the wetmolding and tooling? Did you do the tooling beforehand? Quote Maybe Bob Ross can show me how to make that extra mark a "happy mistake."
Members Otto6294 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 3, 2015 Yes I stitched it all together flat. Then i tooled it as crisp and deep as possible. Then I wet it pretty good. I put the gun in a 2 gallon zip lock and stuffed it in there. I pushed around on the scope area to give it some retention and let it dry over night. The next day I dyed it, then two days later gave it a good rubbing with neetsfoot oil. I will let it dry a few days and then I will spray it inside and out with some fiebing's satin sheen. Quote
Members corkscrew Posted December 3, 2015 Members Report Posted December 3, 2015 Nice looking. I especially like the variation in the color. Used to have a Contender in .222 with a scope. It came with a holster rig, but that was way back before I started doing leather. Quote CorkscrewTom
