Butt Shell Carrier

[318AE]

I thought this one on the Weatherby Vanguard Camilla looked great!

Seriously though - nice leather work…. I hope it serves you well.

Load up with as many cartridge slides as you want. Just don't tell @Kevin Peacocke, he'll want one to go with his pith helmet.

I would love one of those attached to my rifle. Looks good, well proportioned and easy to mount.

Perhaps a pith helmet with a zebra head band would fit all occasions. #trendsetter

He might look right smart if he carried a hammer double to compliment the ensemble.

Wasn't that @Kevin Peacocke in the original (and far better) Jumanji!?!

well….living in the sunny south US, that’s not even a consideration. I think I had snow 22 years ago. Lol

I see where Tennessee is getting more snow this winter than Chicago! Crazy!

I’m Deep enough in the south that Tennesseans are considered Yankees Lol

That’s good stuff right there! We all love vintage firearms. Why not vintage headwear? I say bring back the fedora and the pith helme!

The cape puts it over the top.

A group hunt with everyone dressed like they're from the turn of the century would be great.

There's a rifle??????

Nice work! Neat idea using the brass button studs to secure it. If you are ever interested; there is an equine grade elastic I have found that works quite well for cartridge loops, and looks pretty good on leather.

I had to look several times to see the rifle too!!!

Very

Suffering from Noassatall disease I try to keep my pants and belt as light as possible.

Being a picky SOB I couldn’t find a shell carrier that I liked.….Don‘t like the laces securing most leather models…looks sloppy. Don’t like leather shell loops on most, worried they would stretch. Don‘t like the elastic ones on a wood stocked rifle….etc. etc.

So, making knives and sheaths and having leather to play with, I figured why not make my own cutom fit to my stock.

How do you like to carry your extra ammo?

Yes, I’d love to see what you’ve found and is working well. Your leather work is excellent.

It’s this stuff. I like the Khaki color with the stripes too. I’ve accidentally left cartridges continuously in some of this stuff for years without it stretching out. Weaver leather sales it but you have to buy by the bulk. There is an outfitter supply shop in Montana that will cut it by the yard but I can’t remember which outfit off hand.

I think the one that the Weatherby Vanguard is on looks even better...

yes, it’s quite nice with the stripes….I will see if I can find some to order. If you have a link that would be great. Thanks for the tip and very nice work. @Red Leg has nearly shamed….I mean convinced me to try the belt route again.
