New possibles bag from SWAMP RAT

Got my new possibles bag in today, Swamp Rat made it for me a little over a week ago. This guy did an amazing job on it. The pillow ticking liner is awesome and the 2 pockets were perfect for my tools. I finally have a bag that i can fit all my stuff into and have plenty of room to spare. The straps for the powder horn, i did a little differntly, i split them in half and just tied them on rather than wrapping it around and sewing. I dont hunt with a powder horn so this will allow me to take it off when i need to. Now i just need to buy a buffalo horn and make my own. My horn sucks and is cracking at the tip so its about to be turning into something else later on. I also finished up the deer antler primer i made a few days ago and will leave it the way it is. But to get back on the bag, Swamp Rat did an amazing job and i appreciate all of his work and time he put into it. I never thought i would own a bag this beautiful. And the leather is so smooth! Im looking forward to putting it to good use this year!
Swamp Rat, Thank you again Sir! I honestly cant tell you how much this means to me.

very nice bag swampy dose do a fine job. :bow:

Is that a cva mt rifle nose cap I see? :thumbsup:

That is one nice bag! :bow:

Yes. The stock and trim is CVA but the rifle its self was made by Deer creek. I guess its called a deer creek mountain rifle but im not sure. Has a douglas barrel.

Very nice bag :bow: , well done Swamp.
I see the big smile on the new owners face. :grin:
:hatsoff:

:thumbsup:

Great pics! That bag looks very well put together! :hatsoff:

Kentuckywindage,
I agree with the rest,Swampy does outstanding
work and you have a beautiful bag.
I would like to ask, what is the reason or
history behind the tick lining. To me it would seem to be something that would get and hold
moisture. Where well maintained plane leather
would not:hmm:.

I can´t tell you more about that, I think the problem isn´t that big.

AND:
It looks really great with the tick lining inside. An eye-catcher. :thumbsup:

Good job, Swampy :applause:

Im not worried about moisture. Where i hunt, its pretty dry during september. If i still have a place to hunt, so many fires popping up this year. I like the pillow ticking, its different and eye pleasing.

Glad you are pleased with it and I hope it gives you many many years of service. :thumbsup:

:hmm: I don't know Snake eyes about that, actually never thought of it. The book I have shows some original bags that were lined, I tried my hand at a lined bag and it seemed easy enough so I offer to make them. A couple of people have asked for lined bags now and I made myself one so I guess I'll see if theres any kind of problem with them.

Well, broke in the possibes bag today! loaded it up with my .45 stuff and went out shooting. The bag held great against my hip and didnt slide around on my shoulder like my other one did. The horn was really nice because it was right there by my hand and everything else i needed. Only crappy part of the day was when i loaded #2 shot, the patch got caught on the nub on my ramrod and when i pulled up, my ramrod broke :barf: :barf: So now i will just have to buy a new one. Hope to put all my flintlock items back into the bag and try out the new .54 this friday!
With pyrodex RS and 4f pan powder. :shake: This should be interesting.

Nothing like a beautiful bag to make a man feel warm inside. :thumbsup:

Very nice bag. :thumbsup:

Very nice looking bag and appears to be a perfect size to it also - not too big and not too small. I was just wondering if you could post what the dimensions of the bag were?

Swamp Rat, you did excellent work on it!
