Today I made a custom hunting holster for my bud. He recently purchased a Magnum Research 45/70 BFR Revolver. He purchased it from a private party as the guy did not like it as he did not like the recoil. He has a Marlin 45/70 lever action so it made sense to him to get a pistol in the same caliber.
I used my 50 caliber S&W as a pattern as the frame and cylinder on the 45/70 are basically the same. Custom made it for a 2 inch belt, no leg string like the western styles and a strap to hold the pistol on the holster instead of a rawhide loop.
