I must admit Martin... You did a very good job making the liner system. That's a really nice original M16 shell.

Thanks for kind comments, the liner was made by hand, useing scraps of leather which i found at work. i must be truthful its not the first liner i have made. i made a few FJ liners some time back as was not happy with the early crap liners which came in the early repro shells. best martin.

OP,

So do you work at a tack shop or something? I'd love to work for an old leather Smith and learn some things but it's a rare occupation now. After the collapse it might be in demand.
