Freedom, about the only description that comes to mind is WOW. Being a BIG TIME '58 Remmie fan I especially appreciate this and I must admit that you have nailed my taste in holster design also. The spare cylinder slide is really neat and perfect for those of us who load up plenty of cylinders the night before a match. Would you mind letting me know if the grips are stock or aftermarket? I have been wanting some thin checkered grips for my '58s forever.

Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement!

The checkered grips are stock. This is one of the Pietta's that cabela's sells now. I got lucky and found it on sale back in June for $219...of course they listed it for sale with no guns in stock $:-\$ . It is normally $289. I just recieved it a couple days ago. This gun is just about as good as you could get as far as finsh/fit goes. The trigger is light, but it does have a lot of creep. It doesn't hit high/low/left/right...it hits dead on

I have been shooting 25-35gr. 3ff and a .457 RB I cast.

My plan was to vinegar it ....can't do it...now I guess I'll have to buy another one..LOL

It took me a lot of wasted leather to design the cylinder pouch

... I tried to match the Cabela's pouch and tried many different ways to design a dump style pouch or a cartridge box style, and finally came up with the Slide Design... This may be an old way of doing it but I had never seen one like it for cylinders. (You'd of thought I'd never seen one for shotguns either

) I looked at all of the failed attempts on my bench and had to laugh at myself. The anwser was so simple and it took me so long to design something that had been around for years.

Well Pard what a nice looking rig, I like everything about it, stamping, spots, design and color, the cylinder pouches are a total plus for anyone wearing or using a Remington 1858. WELL DONE

Wen I'm finished shorting out my keyboard with drool, I'll type something about this! LOL.

WOOOW!

That looks really good, Freedom. I like the spot pattern with the stamping below that. Nice color, too. Very striking.

Very nice rig, you should be proud. Remies RULE !!!

I was looking at the Bargain Barn on Cabellas Site just last night and they have several Remington styles there. I am really amazed at how you were able to dress up your rig with just a few basic tools. Usually I like my personal leather with a somewhat Spartan appearance but your pattern speaks well without being what I consider gaudy. Your color is beautiful also, if it is tan, it turned out very rich.
