Possible bag and other bits for my Hawken rifle

[swotty]

I've been quiet work wise for a couple of weeks so amongst other projects (building a new man cave for one!)
I've been doing some leatherwork so thought I'd post a few pics.
I have a Hawken rifle which is a reproduction of this famous muzzle loading rifle and wanted a possible bag to carry all the kit for it. I added a sheath and axe loop to rear in the spirit of the old mountain men! I also made a small attachment to carry my cleaning rod which also acts as a ram rod......









I have also made a sheath for my Jeff White Pathfinder knife and a tobacco tin sized leather possibles s pouch.







All in all a busy couple of weeks

Thanks Hamish, need to make a strap for it really as it's just a rifle sling that in had that I'm using at the moment.

I like the bag..any chance of close ups of it with axe and knife in place?
The pathfinder knifes interesting too

 

[Haggis]

Well done,,, I could fancy myself carrying those, and wearing a pair of John Lobb bespoke Chelsea boots,,,

Thanks chaps.....

Here you go Sam just with my small Wetterlings axe and a couple of the knife. When I got mine it was about £40 delivered and good value for the money but they seem to have increased the price. A nice knife all the same, I would have liked the non blasted blade with the forging marks still on but they didn't have any left.

Thanks Red, the powder flask, powder measure and ball starter all have special little compartments in the bag but I thought a picture might bore most people! A powder horn fits on the front but I'm happier with a flask. Still got a couple of small mods to make to it

Oh, yes...but accuracy is somewhat random even at relatively short distances
