I found this thread while searching for LP.08 leather patterns to make the leather holster parts that accompany the holster itself, carry strap, end cup & strap, main over top strap (the one held with 4 screws on the stock) etc. ... I didn't find those but I spent the next few hours thoroughly enjoying GT's perilous adventure into snail drum spring manufacture.
We are so lucky to have such a magnificent group of craftsmen willing to share there expertise and who DOCUMENT same for this forums posterity.
Thank you so much GT ... I am so impressed with your skills and persona.
PS: anyone with the patterns im looking for I would appreciate your assistance.
