Hi,
If anyone is interested, I mess around in the garage in the evenings after work and make these custom hitch covers. They are made out of solid brass with a stainless steel primer. The tube is aluminum also so there is no worry about any rust at all. The diameter of the brass is 4 inches and the engraved letters are around 1/2 inch tall.
I can engrave just about anything you would want on here, and have more pictures of other styles available. I have sold many of these and everyone has been extremely happy with the quality and workmanship that I put into my product.
The price is $60 plus shipping,if you have any questions or special requests please contact me at
JohnNiemi@charter.net Thanks, John
Guys,
John made me one a year or so ago that is "280 Ackley Improved"
He is a good guy to deal with and does good work.

Thanks for the kind words Gene,
Those look sharp. Just one more thing to spend money on. I am thinking about it.......

I'm in 100% agreement. John made one for me last year as well. It turned out even better than I hoped and John is a good guy to boot. I may yet order another.
Those are very cool covers!
I had one on my wife's vehicle. Never thought it would be the target of a theif. That 4 inch brass round was worth the price of scrap to someone. They are quite nice, but if you put one on your hitch, better LOCK it on. That may not stop a theif, but it will deter the sombeech!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The top one is actually on the back of my truck!! And No, I wouldn't put it on until I got a lock for it. (Sorry for your loss Brother).
Hope you sent one to Ronnie or Chris Barrett! They might add them to their catalog.
Really good looking covers. Do you have a website with more pics?
Do you have a website with more pics?
Here's John's web page:

For that matter, the Barretts just opened a new gun store near their factory in Murfreesboro, TN. Those covers would probably sell...
Next time I've got 60 bucks that I can't seem to spend, you'll be getting a PM
Now do I want it to say 260 Remington, 6.5-08, or 263 Express #2???
Dan,
Just let me know when you're ready and I'll hook you up.
Thanks, John
Hey,
These are still available and also make great one of a kind gifts. Send me an e-mail at
JohnNiemi@charter.net to place your custom order hitch cover. Turn around time is very quick usually just a couple of days, and the quality is top notch.
Thanks, John
Here is a new design I did for a varmint hunter. I think it came out pretty good. I can customize it with any text on it for the same price as my other covers $70.50 to your door. Get back to me at
JohnNiemi@charter.net to place your order or for any questions.
Thanks, John
Way cool, I gotta just figure out what I want on it......
I'm going to be needing another one soon, .358 PLP, the one you made for me last year with .330 Dakota is holding up great.
Phil
Ok Guys,
Just let me know what you want and we can work out the order details. Turn around time is usually just a few days. Here is another design to consider also.
How about a scaled down version for ATV's?
I have 1.25" receivers front and back.
3 or 3.5" diameter?
Put Suzuki, CanAm, Yamaha, etc. on them.
Could be a whole new market for you...
Hey guys,
I still have these available for custom order. If you have any questions about them please e-mail me direct at
[email protected] for more details.
These are Great
I have Several in 300 Savage,303 Savage and 240 Wheatherby.
Steve
Just received mine today. Man, they look good on pics, but are top notch A-Grade work live and in-person.
Thanks John.
Can you or have you done one with the King Ranch logo?
Well I haven't bumped these up for a while so I thought I would let everyone know that I'm still making these. The brass bullet design with any text you want on it is the same price of $70.50 to your door. Some of the other custom designs are more and if you have any questions about them send me an e-mail at
JohnNiemi@charter.net Thanks, John
How about one of these?? Now what I'd like is the "L" in brass the the rest in the silver... What do you think??
Would you be able to design one in the shape of the state of SC with the Palmetto flag in the center? Please PM me if interested.
Thanks,
David
I agree as to making sure that you lock the cover on the hitch. I have one that John made that is "Federal 470 NE". I have a lot of people who ask me questions about it, especially since my license plate is "BG5HNTR"
Hey guys these make great gifts for those hard to buy for buddy's.
I ordered one of these from John as a Christmas gift. He does incredible work!
John is also very fast. I ordered the hitch cover on Wednesday, and received it on Saturday.
Thanks John!!

free bump for this excellent product. Fast shipping, made exactly as I requested, and looks awesome. Father-in-law will love it.
My latest from John:
I haven't been around for awhile but just wanted to bump this up to the top and let everyone know that I'm still making these.
If you have any questions about them send me a PM.
Thanks, John
What can you design based on a Mauser 98...... Since it's really the only rifle worth having.....well, other than a Ruger No.1......
On the brass bullet deign I can put any text on it you want as long as there is enough room for it.
John
Very nice indeed. Maybe when I'm back in the US�..
These are very cool! Bump for future purchase
I had one on my wife's vehicle. Never thought it would be the target of a theif. That 4 inch brass round was worth the price of scrap to someone. They are quite nice, but if you put one on your hitch, better LOCK it on. That may not stop a theif, but it will deter the sombeech!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A good friend of mine ran into a similar problem while coyote hunting in a different state. He had his calls hanging on a lanyard from the mirror of his truck, when he came out of the restaurant from eating breakfast someone had broken into his truck and stole his rifle. A local patron told him to not have anything advertised on the vehicle concerning hunting, it's just an ad for someone to break into you truck looking for a firearm.
I've still got my "LC 69"
Just need a truck without a permenant ball on a steel bumper.

Used to be a problem, maybe still is, around Stuttgart, Ar. with thieves taking duck bands, on duck call lanyards hanging from truck mirrors. miles
Received the one we bought for a friend for Christmas yesterday. Prompt and customized, as described. Thanks!
Great last minute gift idea I found on here. I think our friend who is big into 1,000 yard BR competitions will like this over the Omaha Steaks that were almost ordered.
Seller is good to go.
how about one thats says Winchester 25 WSSM ? How much and time frame please...
received mine this week and it came out awesome,very nice workmanship..Thanks so much !!!!
These are awesome. I just can't decide which one to order.
**Bump**
These custom hitch covers are still available. They make great one of a kind gifts for yourself or that hard to buy for person.
If you have any questions just let me know.
I bought two hitch covers (one as a gift) and the craftsmanship is topshelf.
Super fast turn around time!
I've lost count of all the compliments.
Don't hesitate to treat yourself to one of these awesome custom hitch covers!!

I did the same, and echo the good review! Well worth the investment.
Tag. I'll be back for my sons Christmas present. Thanks
Incredibly happy with the two I bought. Gave one to my Dad as a gift and he gets compliments everywhere he goes.
Made in the U.S.A. Craftsmanship!
Are these made for 1.25 receivers also?
Tag. These are fantastic!
Are these made for 1.25 receivers also?
Yes, it's possible for me to make them for the 1-1/4" receiver tubes.

Free bump.....awesome custom work and tucker65 turns these out extremely fast!
Just received my latest one from John. As usual, great craftsmanship and quick turnaround. Thanks.
Couldn't be more pleased. Hitch cover arrived today. Great craftsmanship! I've been in the machining trade over 40 yrs and these are 1st class. Nice job!
Just received mine....excellent craftmanship....super fast turnaround on a custom design....couldn't be happier with the finished product. John is a great guy to deal with and a top notch craftsman.
Purchased 2 made up from my company Logo
very pleased with the results...Could not deal with a better counterpart !!!
I had this one made for my dad for Father's Day, maybe the best present I've ever got him. He wouldn't put it on his truck until he got a locking pin so no one could swipe it.
Dang it, something else to save up for....
(You do nice work sir.)
These are still available to order. If you have any questions about them let me know.
John
Up to the top for New Year's Day

...and I have one more on the way...these custom hitch covers are too cool!
Well I got rear ended today and myHitchover got bent up. Made a nice impression on the Honda's hood.
Time to order a new one.
What's the current price?
Mine is great! It got a little tarnished, but I dropped in into my brass tumbler and it came out looking brand new!
** Bump **
Those are cool. I'll ask around at work, and see if any of the shooters are interested.

(Too bad so many pics are gone.)
I'm still making these brass bullet hitch covers and they make a great one of a kind gift for the upcoming holidays.
John
Just received 2 from John and they are outstanding. Thanks John.
This ones going to be under the Christmas tree for my new truck. Great work John!
Custom brass bullets hitch covers are $70.50 including shipping.
Thanks John
Up to the top for the New Year. Made this custom cover for a retired Marine and it came out pretty cool.
Can you make one with a Army Combat Medic Badge? I earned mine in Iraq but have done the same job in Afghanistan too.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Medical_BadgeThanks, Dinny
still making these? can i get the pricing again please ty...
Hey guys just thought I'd bump this up to the top for the new year. I'm still making the brass bullet style hitch covers. I can put any text on them you want as long as I have enough room for it for $75 including shipping. The custom, one off aluminum covers are priced depending on the complexity or the design I need to duplicate. If you have any questions just let me know.
Thanks, John
The quality of these is excellent. I have seen nothing close to this level. I bought 2 different custom made styles and they are both awesome.
Up to the top for the weekend crowd.
Would you sell them engraved, without the hitch adapter, just the medallion?

Sure, send me a pm and we can discuss what you would like to get.

Ever make them any smaller in diameter?
Ever make them any smaller in diameter?
No, but it's possible. The only issue would be the cost of a one off part. I make the 4" diameter brass disc in batches of 50 to keep my cost down. If I had to make a one off disc in a smaller size I would need to charge for the extra time involved.
John
Still making the custom brass bullet hitch covers. I can put any text on them as long as there is enough room for it. Let me know if you have any questions.
I haven't bumped this thread up to the top for awhile. I'm still making the custom brass bullet hitch covers. I can put any text on them as long as there is enough room for it. Still the same price of $75 including shipping.
