Self Crafted Accessories

[Urban Coyote]

What type of shooting accessories have you made?

Range rod, powder measurer, powder horn, loading block, pouch or whatever. Maybe you have made something out of the ordinary you find useful that might help others.

So far…short starter, capper, several antler powder measures, small cap tin pouch, powder horn strap, modified a belt knife sheath. It is very satisfying and heightens your interest to make stuff. Their are some real craftsmen/women on this forum. Way above my pay grade.

Horns, bags, cappers, measures, rods, range rods, loading blocks, patch knives, sights, triggers, shooting sticks, sheaths. Some other stuff I'm sure.

I made a ramrod for my cva mountain rifle. I think the ramrod that came with it is original. I turned the brass on my lathe, and bought a piece of poplar 3/8 dowel. It’s all I could get my hands on. I fit and epoxied everything together then turned down some brass stock for a pin at each end. It works great. I didn’t want to break the original. I ordered a brass range rod and it showed up yesterday.

The thing I make mostly is a mess of things...

 

[tenngun]

Possibles bag, knife sheath, shotgun scabbard, ball pouches, a quiver, 1858 holster, powder horns and powder measures. I’ve made several mistakes, have learned from these mistakes, and am laying out a few new designs.

 

[Sidney Smith]

Loading blocks, antler powder measures, two powder horns, short starters, several ramrods, range rods, possibles bag, combo screw driver and flash hole pick. I'm sure there's something I left out.

Apparently we are a busy bunch…

A shooting board that clamps onto the bench at the range. Holds the gun, range rod and starter. Has a little indentation to hold primers and 30 premeasured powder loads.
A block set that holds 30 prelubed .50 cal Maxi-Balls that fits on the left side of the board

 

[Gtrubicon]

I like it!

 

[ohio ramrod]

I make every thing I use, except the powder,caps, and flints. Years ago I made my own powder but it wasn't consistant, and I am knapping impaired.
