Shotshell Holder (part 2)

[j_sublime49]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section,

I decided to try and make a belt holder to store 5 shells for a shoot we had, and I came up with this, not as cool as the injection molded one brownells has but it did the jo

(tried to shrink it but had no luck, delete if too big, sorry)

Made a few to see if having it sit higher or lower was better, I settled with the higher sitting one.

Let me know what you think,

John

That's a pretty sweet setup. What is it made from? I wish I could make things that look like that

 

[P12]

Very, very cool. There's nothing better than home made gear. Did you use sheet metal or aluminium, and are those rivets or screws?

 

[Austen]

Very good job! I like the one of the left better.

Nice job, are they plastic or metal ? I want to try and make a couple for myself.

 

[Gylar]

Looks good and pretty cool idea too!

 

[Fooleo]

nice!

 

[Boomer]

Well done! And here I was thinking about buying a couple from Brownells, when all I have to do is PM you.

Nice idea.

Dose the bent tab at the bottom really tight, or can you pull the shells down? or do you have to fiddle them out the top?

 

[CRAZYLOCH]

Necesity is the mother of invention after all! Great Job!

Thanks for the feedback guys. It's made of Kydex with a g clip on the back.

Dave: the tab is there so that the shells don't drop out the bottom. I made it so that even if the shell is canted it'll still come out of the top.

Regards,

John

Did you use a heat gun or a gas blowtorch to bend the plastic.

 

[j_sublime49]

P12: I used a oven and a heat gun.

Still messing around with the idea I made an ambi one for my duck hunting friend, so if he wanted to switch it over to the other side all he has to do is take the screws out and flip it around so the rims are at the rear.

Cheers,

John
