THe main body is 3 1/2 ounce oak tanned cowhide and the front rolled edge is elk hide. Rolled welts on the gusset that extends the full length of the body. Overall size is about 9" tall x 9 1/2" wide a double pocket inside on the back. The main color is black with golden brown flap and back accent. Treated with a 50/50 mix of bees wax and neatsfoot oil. The strap goes from 1 1/2" to 1" wide, 5 ounce oak tanned cowhide with an aged brass buckle. All hand saddle-stitched with waxed linen thread. If it has whipped cream and chocolate drizzles on it, it’s dessert. Grow up and get a coffee damnit

Also a great choice on a caliber (54) and school (Virginia) for your custom longrifle build. You sound like the kind of gentleman that my friends and I would enjoy hunting and shooting with ... Keep 'em in the bullseye! Cheers All of my MZL'drs will shoot into ONE ragged hole ALL day long ... it's just those darn 2nd & 3rd+ shots that tend to open up my groups!

Check back in a couple of days and I will post an updated picture of the bag with a horn and knife. 30338 - the .54 I am having built is a 'tribute' rifle based on Mike Davis' Old School Virginia mixed with a couple features he did on his rifle for the CLA auction. The major piece being the patchbox... If it has whipped cream and chocolate drizzles on it, it’s dessert. Grow up and get a coffee damnit

The bag, sheath and straps are my handiwork...horn, pick and brush are the work of David Crisalli and the knife was done by Ben Hoffman.

I hope you add your name and the year somewhere (perhaps burn it in on the inside?) -- somebody could be using that a century or more from now and they'd appreciate the info! John
