Buttstock shell carrier

Dorsai · July 1, 1999, 11:34 PM

Does anyone know where I can get a nylon buttstock shell carrier that laces on? Galco makes one in leather that is very nice, but I don't want leather and I don't want to spend $50. Years ago I tried one of the Uncle Mike's elastic butt carriers and it didn't take too long before the elastic wore out and the cuff was sliding all over the stock.

Dorsai,
I don't know of anyone making a lace-on buttcuff (of course, now that I've written it, there will three links for them). I know exactly the problem you mentioned with the Uncle Mike's.
My humble suggestion would the one made by Eagle Industries. Their model uses mil-spec materials throughout- webbing, velcro & elastic. It attaches via a three point system. I've been using mine for 5+ years now on my duty shotgun with no noticeable loss of retention.

Check 6,
