Members Halitech Posted October 13, 2017 Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 Finished off another rifle stock butt cover. Made from 6oz veg tanned leather, dyed Chestnut in color. Feathers are hand drawn and tooled. End is hand stitched to cover the back of the stock. Has 9 loops to hold rifle shells in the 30-30, .303 range size. 7.62 will also fit but very tight. I also used the tandy lace cutter to make the lace from some 4oz drum dyed black leather I had kicking around. Quote Every day you learn something is a good day.

(see my profile pic) - now you have me thinking about making a nice cartridge belt for it... Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members Halitech Posted October 13, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 Looks like I may have started something in a few minds I'm about to start on a sling with the same pattern to make a set Quote Every day you learn something is a good day.

Members Stetson912 Posted October 13, 2017 Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 @garyplThat's awesome! Haha. You should do a cartridge belt or a slider even. I bet the sling comes out nice halitech. Quote
Members Halitech Posted October 13, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 @Stetson912 I'm hoping. I'm debating on putting a set of cartridge loops on it but might be over kill with the loops on the butt cover Quote Every day you learn something is a good day.

Members Stetson912 Posted October 13, 2017 Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 You already have eight. I think my model 94 holds 8 rounds (30-30). So that's one reload. You may be able to incorporate another 8 on a slider that can be put anywhere on the sling? Quote
Members Halitech Posted October 13, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 I'm doing a cobra style so wouldn't be able to do a slider really but might just do another 8 loops on it. Thinking a belt pouch as well with a flap covering the bullets. Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members Stetson912 Posted October 13, 2017 Members Report Posted October 13, 2017 That could work Quote
