Henry Rifle Forums

Never ordered from these folks but I did see a You tube video where a guy had one of there sling and stock covers. It looked well done and nice to me.

This is the old stock cover I had on my Big Boy rifle but sold it with the rifle. Anyhow, I just ordered another one exactly the same for my Henry 1860. It offers more protection for the stock than the Ricochet Roy one I have. I was surprised how small the Ricochet Roy one is and expected it to cover more area. I love the leatherwork but it just seems small to me. If I have one on the rifle I want more protection, especially in the bush.

Just ordered this one from gunstockcover.com; The Ricochet Roy one:

I see what you mean, but I guess that the only thing that I can say is that they are both sure beautiful.

I may rub some neatsfoot oil into the new one to bring out the leather grain and tone it down a little.

The fringed one at the top is what I am thinking for my 1885 High Wall when it shows up. It's actually made of deerskin, with cowhide underneath at the bottom where it laces up. I would rub some oil into it to darken it up though.

My Henry one is darkening up real nice after a few oil rubdowns...

That was my thought too before reading all the way through.

Very nice!!

I contacted the maker to see if he can make one in a reddish brown leather. Would look better.

*He emailed me back right away and said he can make it same color as my Henry one.

**Been chatting with the gunstock cover guy and he will make an real nice one for the 1885 High Wall when it finally shows up. Same color as my Henry one, but with the rough side of the leather out and a real nice fringe. Will look real old timey on that rifle for sure.

Just ordered my 1885 stock cover....hopefully have a rifle to put it on soon...

If you dont a Sharps will fit

Or maybe a Hawken

For sure...

I also have a saddle scabbard for the new rifle too so I can go all Quigley and pack it horseback sometimes. 40" scabbard!

Should be a good week...powder, lead and primers on their way, lots of clean brass and I treated myself to a new suede cartridge belt too...should be here this week, supposed to be very comfortable to wear. Even though I pack cartridges on the stock covers I always wear some extras in the back country.

Id like to know how you like that when you get it. Its just the belt and not meant for a holster for the pistola isnt it.

You can definitely fit a holster on it. But in my case it will pack my knife.
