Leather long gun guncase
« on: November 20, 2006, 06:00:24 AM »
Can anyone direct me to information to allow me to duplicate a leather gun sock/case/rug that would approximate what would have been used by an 19th century Hawkens owner?  I seem to recall Redford using one in Jeramiah Johnson.  I'm NOT looking for the last word in authenticity, just something in-the-spirit.  I took my first black powder deer with a roundball out of a Lyman Hawken kit and thought I'd put the hide to use.

Found it! Made out of cow hide but I can copy it in doe skin.
