Thanks guy's

Yes stump is a good rest and the 45/70 did not play heck on your shoulder we probably would not have one. :)

Guy's finally gotten around to touching my stock color up and matching it a little better. Think I will leave her alone now.

Love the beads! You've inspired me to leather wrap the lever on my 45-70 :-)

Thanks guy's,

If you use leather to wrap just make sure you oil the leather well after wrapping so it does not rust the lever over time. I always keep mine oiled up.

So this is why paracord is so popular -

Probably.
I always use something slimmer than paracord. I wrap all my levers, have them wrapped in sewing thread used for leather all the way to leather thread. No matter what I wrap mine with I always use a quality oil and soak the wrap with it. Then once a year or so I will reoil the wrap. Not dripping of course, just enough to soak it through.

I do not like thick wraps on mine like paracord or thick leather.
