No Subtitute For A Good Gun Rug

[rburg]

More thoughts now. Bamabiker has a really good set of ideas. I have no idea what he does for a living, or how his career is progressing. But this is how Keith Brown got started 6 or 7 years ago. It looks to me like we've got a group of leather workers here on the forum. This is how things change. Suddenly we've got some prototype products that are maybe as good as those from the past. And the old models aren't available these days.

I was never motivated to seek current products that were superior. My best gun rugs from the past were made by my wife, using some old animal hides we picked up in our travels. I sought utility, not beauty.

Thanks Mr. Burg, coming from you, that's a real compliment.
Leather work is my therapy from my real job but just don't have enough time to do a lot of it.
And as slow as I am if I did it for a living we'd be under a bridge by the end of next month.

Nothing fancy,just one that does the job well.

Lawrence called them "butterfly gun cases". That's a little more
dignified than gun rug don't you think?

Just had to come by and revisit. There have been some stunning additions! Just got back from visiting my folks in WI, I'm thinking my 15-1 needs an example like those posted. Guess I'll start searching now, even if it is for a new version that takes its que from the past. Thanks for sharing everyone.

Just found my first "Big Three" gun rug. Lawrence 94 2. Don't have it in hand yet. Found it on ebay for the very modest sum of $39 OBO delivered. I think I might have sprained my wrist hitting that BIN button.
