here's a helpful hint for ya next time. Case the leather (get it wet) and form it to the mag. Looks good though. If you wanted you could stitch it too. If you don't know how to stitch you could glue it and then take it to a boot repair shop for them to stitch it for ya. Another thing is buckstitching. Maybe you will like working with leather one day. It's a good thing to kill some time and make cool stuff. My next project is a scabbard for my .270. Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys!
I wanted to form it to the mag but had no idea how. Thanks for telling me. We have a section of the store I work in that's set up as what's known as the "saddle area". There's a leather working guy that sometimes comes in and uses it but not so often after opening his own shop. So now its just open to whoever. Its got a big sewing machine thing but I have no clue how to use it. I'd rather have sewn it.

Funny you should say "function over fashion" Cause rivets are prone to tear at the rivet because all the stress is on one spot, where stitching will spread the stress over the whole area.
