#23 Tortoise shot shell puller

Post by muskrat man »

Here's a #23 I just finished converting. I changed the blade profile to a drop point, converted the bolsters to the old style shot shell pullers and added recon tortoise handles. Kinda hard to tell from the pic but the handles and bolsters have a coffin type bevel on them.

Very nice MM. There's something special about the look of TS and I really like the shot-shell puller ::tu:: ::tu::

Thanks Men.
Gunsmoke, I don't get to post as much as I'd like, the amount of work I have consumes most of my day and afterward I'm usually too tired to even browse the forums after work and responding to emails much less post. :?

Perry! Long time no see, was wondering what had happened to you, thought you had sung yourself to death :)

I thought I might mention for some who may be wondering, the pivot pin was left nicely domed on purpose as per typical foreign shellpuller style.

Nearly have Kaleb but then God keeps giving me a little more to do, I think he knows stuff I don't. I turn 50 on the 5th of next month and busier than ever. Toby Keith's last 7 records, Blake Shelton's last 4 and lots and lots of new artist's records. ::ds::
