my handmade rifle sleeve for my new rifle.
« on: July 12, 2013, 10:09:18 pm »
I just bought a Finnish M-39 rifle and so I got the idea to make a rifle sleeve for it. I made from commercially tanned leather, artificial sinew, some rivets and a little bit of snake skin. Every stitch was handstitched so now my fingers are killing me LOL.
Once a soldier always a soldier. Hoooah!

Very clever.  Looks like you are ready to be dropped in the Canadien wilderness for a self guided hunt!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Ha ha I wish I don't think the wife would like it very much if I went that far into grizzly country by myself. However that M-39 would take down just about any big game. I'm hoping to take a black bear with it this year. Ill hunt anything else with my bow but when it comes to hunting bears I like to have the reassurance of a reliable high powered rifle or a 50 cal muzzy.
