Asa Smith Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I bet Gibby could... You may even be able to beg Lonesome into making you one. (Don't tell him I suggested it!) You would have to make sure you use your dowel on top of the rounds Asa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Willy Dunkum, SASS # 61027 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 This one happens to be mine, made by Michigan Rattler. This is the one submitted to SASS and approved. I've talked to MR today and it needs to have a bit more clearance for the dowel rod pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 This seemed like a good idea so I made me a couple. Made one fuzzy side out so it would match my buttstock cover, and the other with the "fancy" side out. With my 4 5/8th dowel I can barely fit 10 44-40's in there. Been so long since I shot the Henry I forgot I even HAD a dowel in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Willi Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I like it, have hit my hand a bunch on the Henry and got the pinch bite! Question does the snaps mark up the barrel?or is it lined on the inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It won't mark up MY barrel as it is a antiqued version of the rifle. I wondered about that myself and may come up with a different version later, as I have a couple of ideas that might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It would not be difficult for your leather guy to glue and stitch a thin piece of leather over the back snap piece to protect it from scratching the barrel. Also, someone makes a small plastic disk that attaches to the back of the bottom snap piece to protect the gun. You'll see these on many commercially produced pistol holsters that have a safety thumb strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 That was my thinking, sew another piece of leather to the backside. As for the carbine, I'd have to see one to make a pattern for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
