Leather buttstock shell holder- 20 gauge??
« on: July 11, 2005, 07:11:23 AM »
Dear Folks,

   I am looking for a nice, leather, strap-on shell holder to put on the butt-stock of a small 20 gauge side by side, that will hold four to six 20 gauge shells.  Sound easy?  It's not.  I can't find anyone who sells or makes them.  I have found a fair number that are made in 12 gauge (Cabella's has them), but none in 20 gauge.  (The only one's in 20 are those ugly cheap black nylon elastic shell holders.  Can't bring myself to put one on a nice exposed hammer 20.)  
 
   Does anyone know a source for this type of shell holder, or can anyone put me in contact with someone who might custom make one for me?  

Best Regards,

Big Paulie

Donno of any place making them, except on a custom basis...most any leather maker could turn one out...but iffin yer thinkin of usin sech a device in CAS, I got bad news. They are illegal in SASS and NCOWS competitions. :shock:  Ya gotta load from yer body, ergo: from a pocket or a belt.

No, I wasn't thinking of using it in a  CAS event.  I just figgered that you guys would know the best custom leather makers.
