Protection Cover for Rifle Stocks

When you are cleaning a rifle, you can be at risk with the chemical use for cleaning. If the chemicals that you use to clean your are left on the stock of the rifle. It could damage the woodwork of the stock or if you have sensitive skin it could leave a rash on your cheek. I made a protection cover that wraps simply around the stock of the rifle with Velcro straps. So the next time you use the rifle you wont have the chemical on your cheek piece part of the rifle. It really simply to make and to use. This project didn't cost a lot.

Step 1 Gather the materials

All the materials are easy to get. The only thing I'm not sure if sewing suppliers shop has the Velcro straps that I'm using. Velcro strap that I'm using has the hooks on one side and the loops on the other side is use in the telecommunication world to bound data cables together. I found my Velcro strap in the roof space at work. So it would be likely sold in a hard ware shop or electrical distribute store. When you cut this strap it doesn't fray which is ideal as I don't have any real sewing abilities. The other stuff should be easy to find like needle, thread and face washer.

Parts List:

1. Face washer 33cm by 33cm any colour will do
2. Velcro strap
3. Cotton thread
4. Needle
5. Knife or Leatherman

What lube/solvents do you use? I'm partial to Hoppe's 9 or BreakFree myself.
