Thanks to your video, I picked up some lacing and did this to my 18" Rossi M92 in .44. Turned out great and is more comfortable with a generous treatment of mink oil. Thanks for making it easy to follow!

+smccrory Glad you found it useful. Thanks for the tip on the mink oil, will be getting some.

Thank you very much for tutorial. Just picked up the Rossi M92 improved the feel 10 fold!

thanks so much, this is exactly the vision I had for my mare's leg after seeing the ugly alternatives. its coming in next week, already bought the "saddle strapping" leather. can't wait to do mine!

The braided looks great.

Thanks Vinny, still on there.

I love this, will try the braided look I think on my 45 year old Marlin .30-30.

Thanks. Just did mine M94 up with some suede lace sitting around.

Looks easy to do! Going to the hobby lobby to pick up some leather.

I used an ugly old piece of rawhide for now.. Ordered the same braid as you have, doing my Marlin 336. Thanks for the video, I couldn't get it right on my own, this helped!

Well heck, I can do this. I'll go to my local Hobby Lobby and get me some leather lacing and do my Lever Guns. Thanks for showing us how easy this is to do.

Thank you, you can see the Rossi in action in the "Time Travel App for the Droid or (The Rossi 92 in 44-40)" video.

Nice job. I think I'm gonna pick up one of those stainless Rossis in .357/.38. Beautiful rifle!

I meant to say a more rustic look. Wear and tear will do that anyway I suppose.

whiterook85 I found with the help of my much better half using leather lace and instead of wrapping, weaving. Looks great on my Henry Big boy. I appreciate your video.

Nice work - have you tried the saddle ring (found on trapper versions of 1892 style lever guns). Can't find any "how-to" videos for that ring.

It is really soft leather, nothing to worry about as far as cuts or scrapes on the fingers. It sold as leather to make bracelets, so it is soft. For just a few bucks it is worth trying out, if you end up not liking it you didn't break the bank.

Nice.

One question, have you ever had any issues with rust with the blued guns? Do you take yours off every so often?

Haven't had an issue with rust, but haven't had it out in the rain. It i did I would take it off and let it dry.

I have a gun shop down the road that sells wraps for 12 dollars.i like them alot.i think they order them in bulk from brass stacker but I'm not sure

I hear you can create moisture and trap sweat and could end up with rust... ?

I know this is a common "accessory" added to lever guns. Just be aware that leather in direct contact with steel will, over time, lead to a good deal of corrosion. Some leathers are worse than others, depending on tanning method, but they'll all do it to some degree.

Gun vise frees up hands

Gonna try this with a faux leather cord since I heard real leather can lead to rust on your lever after a while.

I was thinking about getting one of these rifles in 357 mag. Is this a pretty solid reliable gun?

+Trevor S The Rossi is very solid, needs some breaking in to be have a smooth action. You can do that with a little lubricant and racking the action for about 30 minutes or so. Shoots good, hits about everything you aim at.

+Trevor S Nice choice, have the option for .38's or .357. Right now Gallery of Guns has them for about $550. A good price, great service and the best lifetime warranty you can get. Good luck with it.

20" octagon barrel. Check here for a range review of it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6eYypmTqLLghdo.html

I want to do this with 550 cord.

Don't need that it doesn't hurt racking rounds

Best thing is if you don't end up liking how it turns out, you lost a bit of time and almost no money.

I really think that this needs knots in it instead of just circular wrapping.

What is the purpose for doing this? Does it save the hands or is it some aid for working the lever or is for esthetics?

That wrap will just slip around on the lever.

Why have wrap on the lever what is the point

Here's a question; "If you are repeatedly racking this rifle, what would you do to make it more comfortable?"

How abrasive is it on bare hands? That braided looks painful :)

What's the point of the 12 gauge shells?

He was just using them to prop the rifles up for a better camera angle.

Honestly, I don't think either result is very aesthetically pleasing.
