Cowboy Action loading blocks

[Bren R.]

Here are a few pics of cowboy action loading blocks I made for my girlfriend and her dad...





They use them for carrying the 5 rounds x 2 pistols and 10 rounds of rifle ammo to the loading table.

She shoots .38SPL, he shoots 44-40 and 45 Colt.

are you using magnets to hold the top on?

The skull and bones one is for my girlfriend... the rest of her rig all has skulls on it and her favorite colour is purple - thus the purpleheart.



And the other one... her dad goes by "Buckshot" - so I faked it with steel BBs made to look like they're embedded in the wood.

Walter - I thought of a leather loop or something to hold them together - came up with a pair of magnets to keep the top aligned when closed... it all pivots on a sex bolt/Chicago screw in the top corner.

Made the pistol holders to look like a cylinder shape, since they often use a different bullet or load in the pistols than rifles - keeps them distinct and easy to tell at a glance.
