Combination Cartridge cuff

[PossumHollow]

One of my stock cuffs for combination guns. The 20 gauge 17/22 rimfire is a new addition to the lineup. This one is in brown

I like the contour your choice for the cuff relative the line of the stock. Very nice.

I posted a cuff with eyelets once on a firearms and was jumped on for threatening the stock finish until I was able to prove that the lace (para-cord here?) combined with the setting of the eyelet into the leather prevented direct contact.

Normally I like creasing on all edges but this looks nice and clean and works very well without I think.

Well done.

(of course always nice to see the whole forearm..... please?)

No whole firearm here just a broken stock for modelling purposes

Thank you for the kind words, yes correct lacing and setting of the eyelets prevents them from directly contacting  the stock. I like gutted paracord for lacing them on, I can get them tighter and it lays flatter than leather lace in me experience. 

Most of my stuff is pretty plain and utilitarian. I like the make stuff that is quality and durable, but something someone won't be afraid of using hard and getting a dent or scratch so I tend to keep things simple in most cases

Sounds like your leatherwork uses the old firearms adage -

Guns are tools and if they aren't marked you aren't using them!

I don't have any safe queens ... have had an "oh crap" moment or two but still they aren't for show. - WAIT... just realised I lied... I have a Henry Golden Boy that I am very protective of... that's it. But I still actually use it!

Good observations on the cord versus lace... I will have to try that.

Wouldn’t mind having that on one of my guns! Looks nice and clean. I’m a fan of simple work myself. To me it looks cleaner.

Really nice and clean looking. I've been wanting to try one of these for a while. What oz leather are you using?

5-6 for the cuff, 3 for the loops
