Lever wrap for my BBSC

Post by deano5150 » Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:57 pm

I bought a large loop lever wrap from Brass Stacker to match the sling I got from them. I soaked it in neatsfoot oil over night to make it more pliable. I laid it in an empty CCI ammo box and poured in enough oil to cover it. Tonight I enlisted the help of my 11 year old daughter to stitch it onto the lever while I held the leather as tight as I could. I couldn’t have done it without her. This really was a four handed operation. I wish we had been able to get the leather to completely encircle the loop but it just wasn’t wide enough. Even so, I think it turned out well.

Pretty nice. I really like my lever wrap. You will like the soft feel on your knuckles.

Looks great, now, wrap it in a wet cloth and then it will tighten up.
