Making a Leather Stock Shell Sleeve

In this Project Video, I am making a Leather Stock Shell Sleeve for the stock of a gun in an old west cowboy style.
This style can be set up to hold many different cartridge sizes depending on what it's going on.
We offer a pattern pack with a variety of floral carving patterns for this project that you can purchase in a PRINTED or DIGITAL version. This is a Large Format Print so if you are in the United States we recommend the PRINTED version that we mail out to you.
PRINTED VERSION: shop.dgsaddler...
DIGITAL VERSION: shop.dgsaddler...

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to make one

[@OglesbyLeather]

Thanks!

Baseball stitch? Thanks for this one!

Beautiful job, Don. Although I'd make the loops taller, at least an inch and a half for 2 3/4" shells....

I've made a few stock sleeves, yours better. Thanks for the tips and know how.

Do you do any variants for monty carlo style stocks (raised cheeks)? A lot of O/U and SxS shotguns have them. And hunting rifles

[@brendenohagan7296]

You could probably wet mold them. I require firearm in hand when I make these because stocks can vary slightly. I have done a Monty carlo...yet

.45-70 rounds would use the same spacing as .410 shot shells.

What knife is he using at the beginning? Anyone?

[@brendenohagan7296]

Woodsum knives started making them. Not sure when they will have more available
