Shot Flask attempt
I was browsing the gunshow on the weekend and found a fellow selling an old shot flask spout, missing the bottom stop plate. Fellow wanted $20, offered $15 and got it. Didn't take me long to fabricate a new stop plate for it, then, what to do with it. Looked through my scraps and came up with this idea... LOL... Hey, it works !!!

Who said you can't build a better mouse trap ???

I too am a leather crafter and by my measure you did a fine job. In fact, your new design is better than most originals, in many ways. If you don't mind, I'm going to have to copy some of these features. Can't wait to see your next "fancy". My compliments and thank for your post. ……. Be Safe !!!

Sorta looks like you might have crafted it out of a revolver holster....or am I just imagining things. Good imagination on your part putting it together..

Old shot flasks were also designed to be slung over the shoulder. Good work and nice interpretation.

With a simple shifting of the end gate the shot charge can be changed. That's very nice!
Is it 1 1/4 and 1 oz.? |
