New recoil pad for the 71

[ShadeTree]

Got the same Amish boy that made me a sheath for the old kelly axe I restored, to make me a replacement recoil pad for Dad's 71.

Done a bang up job once again.

Here's the sheath he made me for the axe.







First pic is of the inside of the pad, I appreciate people that take the time to be particular. I liked how he pulled both tails of the lacing back through on the inside. I cut a piece of foam to fit the butt plate contour of the pad.



2 more. Should be good to go, now just gotta carry the gun enough to make that new leather look as authentic as the gun. :grin:

Very handsome. He did some fine work that'll make you proud.

That looks nice and fits with a classic gun like that very well.

Perfect fit for your rifle ! Great choice and the kid is good...... many happy years to come!

That's some pretty nice work! Simple but quality craftsmanship, wonder what else that kid can do? Now go to YouTube and learn how to age that leather if you want to. Looks great on a classic lever action.

Yep I might do that!
