Leather Lever Wraps.......Done!

[rbertalotto]

I ordered two Leather Lever Wraps from Ricochet Roy, http://www.rroldwest.com/.

$20 each, including shipping and the needles and waxed thread to install them.

One for my 1892 Rossi and one for my 1873 Uberti.........

With instructions supplied, I installed both of them within 15 minutes while my wife was picking out a coat to wear to dinner! I kid you not! Nothing could be easier.

Looks like a good stitching job. Did ya oil em first?

I sell hundreds of wraps and always recommend folks wet the leather well with whatever oil they'd use on the outside of the gun to inhibit the potential of rust on the lever.

I didn't oil the leather, but I did spray silicone on the lever. One went on a case hardened lever and the other on a stainless lever.

Next gun I do I'm going to wrap the lever with rubber tape. The type that sticks to itself (We used to wrap baseballs with it when we were kids and couldn't afford new balls)

This tape is 100% waterproof and sticky on the outside. It will lock the leather wrap down tight with no chance of movement.

(BTW, I received the Cowboy 45 brass today.....Thanks for the quick shipping!)

Now, that is one beautiful wrap. I like the smoothness of the leather. Good work! Makes we want one. (or two)!

LOL! Ya got lucky with the way the order fell in the cycle. Over the holiday season I take pity on the post office (and myself), shipping once a week.
