Rifle Lever Wrap Tutorial [the BEST Rifle Accessory] - Henry, Marlin, Rossi or Winchester 

This was oddly therapeutic. The over the shoulder perspective really helped with that feeling.

Big BIG shoutout to Hellhound Leather Co for making this easy to install and absolutely beautifully ergonomic leather lever action wrap for my Henry .410 Axe ! 10 star review. There is nothing else on the market even comparable with this product! Thank you all so much! It truly makes this already beautiful rifle even more beautiful!!

Well just thought I would let you know, After watching your video, and with your words of encouragement. I ordered the large cocking handle for my cherished Henry Golden boy rifle. I followed your instructions and sewed leather on it. Then replaced the stock cocking lever. And it looks almost as good as if I had you do it for me!! Thank you! I am very proud of My rifle! Now I feel like Ralphie in Christmas story!! Ralphie thought he waited a long time. Hum I had to wait until I was 73 years old..lol !

Ordered one from amazon for half the price. Then came across your video and immediately returned the cheap wrap and ordered one from you for my henry golden boy. Cant wait to see the finished product.

Thank you for the video. This is a simple, easy to follow tutorial. Over the years I have sewn hundreds of leather items by hand, but I had never seen the finish like this. I’m sure it will work on some of the projects that I will be doing in the future. Wearing gloves certainly helps protect the fingers as you pull the thread tight. My father had a shoe shop and leather repair business for about 70 years and my brother bought his business and is still repairing shoes and making leather products. My father and later my brother took an older pair of gloves and cut the first two fingers completely off and cut part of the thumb away, keeping the ring and pinky fingers of the glove. This allows you to have protection to pull the thread without hurting your fingers, but also allows you to have your thumb and first two fingers free for intricate work like rethreading the needle or scratching your ear. This has worked for them and for me. I suggest this because maybe it will be something you all can use. Once again, thank you for the tutorial.

Awesome tutorial. Will happily buy from you guys again!

I looked at other products before settling on this one. I'm glad I did. My Henry Golden Boy with large loop lever is now done and looks great! Materials, tutorial and techniques are superior. Especially the way the wrap is finished, tucking the tails of the sinews in using the finishing loop. Thanks!

Great instructional video. Simple, easy to follow instructions. Well done!! thanks

After watching and reading the comments it’s just such a pleasure to read and watch quality work that shows Why and how we use to be proud to take pride in the work we do. The way people are just so disrespectful and angry these days I’m so glad I found your video. I’ll be in touch to order a few sets. This is how business works well. ✌️👍🇺🇸

The best instruction video out there for lacing your levers , great job and THANKS!!!!!

Just a note, when I did my leather work in the 60 - 70's for small stuff like you showed on the lever arm. I used to lightly dampen the leather so it moulded and fit a bit tighter and was easer to form.

Thank you for this detailed tutorial! Because of your time, effort, and beautiful leather work, I purchased five sets! Thank you very much!

Bought one for my marlin trapper, watched this video cause I’m pretty handy and thought crap this is gonna be hard, threw it in my vice and followed your instructions and it came out amazing! Thank you for the product and amazing video

That is so neat. I have a Henry lever action rifle on its way to me now. As soon as I get it, I'm headed to Hellhound to purchase the lever wrap and then do the DIY. Thanks for this video. Enjoyed a full-watch of your tutorial. 👍🏽🙂

Excellent work, A great tradesman at work. Thank you for the video. Barry, New Zealand.

Lots of great info. I didn't see until I had a list 1/4 mile long what I would need, but did notice you do installs. I'll be calling. Your video work is some of the best presentation I've seen.

Thanks so much! Just installed my wrap it looks amazing! Couldn’t have done it without y’all!!

Best wrap tutorial I have seen! Refer to it often!

I just got mine installed and it looks and feels awesome! I'm super happy with how it turned out, this is an excellent tutorial. Thank you!

Just stitched one up on my Marlin 1894c with RPP medium lever loop. Looks great. Works like a charm. Thanks guys.

The finishing loop is awesome. Thank you.

i know what I'm doing this weekend. Bravo!

Now that looks COOL!!! Beautifully done.

Great idea and beautifully done.

wow, thank you for this video. I didn’t think I’d be able to pull it off since I’ve never even sewn a button on something. Thanks to this easy to follow video I was able to put my wrap on! AwesomeQ

Pretty much a must have

Fantastic! Thx. RockOn.StayFree.

I’m going to need to grab this kit soon.

Just did mine came out amazing

Great illustration, very well done & educational👍👍

I absolutely love the way this fit my rifle. I'm glad I ordered the second set of pre-strung sinew because I went too high without throughly tightening the first time around and could not get it tight enough. I also tried backing the first threads out to try and tighten again, but didn't really have luck. So, second set of threads through and made sure to keep it all tight and it works perfectly. (Also my first time ever doing something like this). But it looks great, and is defintely more comfortable that just the bare metal.

Excellent tutorial!

What happens at 3:08, the first stitch. The video jumps.

Nice work, very instructive video

I wish I had come across your video before I bought the wrap I chose, the instructions were so complicated where the stitching was concerned that It took me 4 or 5 tries before I got the idea. You had to really concentrate and watch what you were doing using their method and it does not look near as nice as yours. The simplicity of your method makes perfect sense, very similar to lacing your shoes. I might have to do over using your methods! THANKS

I was an aprentis taxadermest. Well done. 3 years

Thank you.

Very nice Video !!!!

This is so cool

Very nice and informative video.

Dude you did A great job to me.

I feel like that would look even better with yellow/gold stitching to match the brass.

Henry rifle owners beware…the lever is NOT nearly this easy to remove much less reinstall

Awesome !

It would be helpful to make a video on how to remove the Henry 22 lever. It’s a bit more involved. 😢

Great work…!

Geil echt Klasse Arbeit 👌👍

I wrapped the lever on my Marlin i used for hunting. I decided to take it off years later. Rusted. I had to steel wool and re-blue it

Very nice! Thank you I think I could do this. Maybe I will give it a try, If I screw up I will just reorder.

Great video. Looks beautiful. Will be ordering this kit once I get my Henry.

Great tutorial. Is it possible to have the shop install the leather if we send the loop? If so, are charges for the work posted on your website please?

Great instructional video! One question why do you not dampen the leather first is it because of the lever being a metal and it can rust?

That’s a really boss kit, thanks for the tutorial. I think that’ll look sweet on my ‘94. Does the trigger guard wrap really reduce the area to access the trigger? I usually shoot with gloves, may be a bit tight.

If I would choose to purchase the kit, and once removed the lever, could I send it to stitch? If so what would be the cost? Thank you.

Somewhere around 3:29 you are starting out, and after crossing the threads you say,. "And take a needle," appearing to point a needle below the starting point, but then it jumps. At that jump it then shows you have already gone up to the second holes. Never does show where "take a needle" gets you. Or why.

Nice looking results, can this procedure be done with the baseball stich to?

👍👍

Right around 12:14-15 y’all start to say “take your needle” then video appears to jump? Curious if step got skipped o’er, or if just editing thing.

Is the finishing loop necessary?

Wtf happened at 3:12ish bc the video skipped and there's a cross section with advancement in the video?!?! What did I miss?? He says keep it loose then wtf

Nice job, but the trigger guard leather is superfluous. Its wanted on the lever, for padding forceful manipulation. Anyone operating that lever as intended, as in beating a rented mule, with their finger IN the guard is asking to drive the trigger THROUGH that finger.... no thanks.

Can I send you mine and have you do it with as close as you can get to black leather? It’s for a Winchester Model 94.
