Tried putting on my "lucky cat whiskers" that I've found over the years but I think it's probably too much.

lever wrap
Re: lever re-wrap
Re-wrapped my lever. Not a big change, some thicker leather, different color laces and picked up some different beads. Spent a little more time measuring and cutting the leather.

Re: lever wrap
impressive .... does the thickness of the wrap noticeably reduce the size inside the lever

Re: lever wrap
Maybe a little but it's not that thick, a little over a 1/16" and it's stretched pretty tight. Sure is easier on your fingers if you're doing a lot of shooting.

Re: lever wrap
I like the personalization and beads on your wrap. Here's what I did with my two, kept it simple for now. Always time to go back later and re-do them with something a little more 'fancy' if I decide to.
