O.T. Shoulder scabbards for a lever gun

[Cliff]

I recently purchased several M.O.L.L.E. Shoulder Shotgun Scabbards from Sportsman's Guide. They are listing them as for a shotgun, but they work very well for me on my leveractions. Price was right about $25. Not leather has all kinds of straps for carrying on pack racks, or over your shoulder. Holds my M-94, M-92's, M-336's and M-94 Marlins great. Flat and out of the way. They do carry a short (18 inch) barreled shotgun very well, tried an 870 and my Stevens 331R. They come in three colors, black, coyote tan, and olive drab. I just figured I would mention them for someone who isn't looking for a nice built leather scabbard. I got mine . Sportsmansguide shows Part number of LX9X-144035C. Anyway I like mine. Figured someone may want some for a stocking stuffer or something. Cheaper Than Dirt had the same things but were $36 bucks. If I am out of line, forgive me. Have a good weekend.

Thanks for the idea. Recently, my Uncle mentioned making a leather shoulder scabbard for a 30-30 taken on a cougar hunt.

OK, now I have a mental image of Gunny in his Ghillie suit with two of those -- one strapped on to each thigh -- shotgun on the right, rifle on the left, as he heads out to blast some coyotes!!!

Aw, he11, buy 4 so your two boys can have one each too...



Happy huntin'!

I like shoulder scabbards. Works real good if designed right, for riding if you like to keep your rifle with you in certain situations, rather than tying down a scabbard to the saddle.



Scabbard making ain't rocket science,.... anyone who can stitch/repair leather can put one together.

p.s. I think a scabbard should afford some protection from scratches and such,.... unless it isn't used in the back country.

Very good idea!!!

The rig on Legacy's site looks interesting. I may have to contact Bob Mernickle directly about such a rig for a Marlin 1894C or BLR.

I had one made out of leather for a '94 trapper I had years ago. Very handy when dragging out a deer, on a four-wheeler, or anytime you needed both hands free. I parted company with it and the rifle during the first divorce .

On the legacy one ,I'm not sure how you would get your gun out without it catching the front sight. I've been using a leather quiver that I got at a garage sale for $5 when I'm out snow shoeing. But I think I will be ordering that scabbard from sportsmans guide to keep on the ATV . Thanks for the info.
