Just a quick lever wrap, maybe will do something fancier later, even found some trade beads from my old black powder/rendezvous days.

Re: lever wrap
It looks pretty fancy now. Nice work, especially the beads. Very cool.

Re: lever wrap
Two weeks ago, I got my first henry, 1st lever gun. So it's time to start making it my own by adding some custom touches. The lever wrap is on my list. I did not realize how fun and different a lever gun is. I think I see more in my future

Re: lever wrap
Good work dave77. A CAS told me that lever wrap would prevent your hand from slipping in the lever. Has anyone noticed a difference using lever wrap and is there any other advantage to wrapping the lever?

Re: lever wrap
I didn't really notice my hand slipping, I put the wrap on mostly for looks but it does cushion the back of your fingers which is nice if you're shooting lots of rounds.

Re: lever wrap
I had a lever wrap on my rifle for awhile; it was ok, but I just find it easier to get my hand in & out without it. Just preference.

Re: lever wrap
Some of the commercial ones I've seen made of harder leather look kind of thick but mine is soft leather stretched very tight so it doesn't take up much room. Might be an issue if wearing gloves .
