<DIV>I'd recommend a blanket sleeve, it will breath (leather may cause rust) and it provides some slight padding. The thicker the blanket the better. my 2 cents hardtack</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=281584119-22042002><FONT face=verdana>Well, I received so much excellent advice regarding powder horns, I figured I would approach this list with a new query. I need some sort of case (or sleeve) to keep my rifle from getting to badly scratched in the trunk of my car while going to and from the range. I have seen some buckskin ones with fringe and that sort of thing, but is that what was really used yesteryear? I thought about just stitching a wool blanket to make a sleeve for the gun, but I'm not sure if that would be considered "period" or not. Whaddya think? Thanks in advance.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
