Getting better at cutting foam case inserts

[ADAduckhuntr]

Hot wire or box cutter?

Using a hot wire setup?

Great looking results.

Thin, flexible razor knife.

Good work, but you always do good work. I know this isn't the thread, but what's the single action?

Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum. Sambar stag grips. Had the RSBH for almost 25 years, but the grips came off someone here on the ODT.

The grips look great. But I'd have rubber grips on a magnum

I like smooth grips better on a hard-recoiling single action revolver. The rubber digs in so the grip doesn’t slip, and the recoil goes into your palm.

With smooth grips like these stag, the gun rotates in your palm and some of the recoil goes down out of the bottom of your grip. That rotation brings the hammer right back where it’s easy for a thumb-cock, which transitions the gun right back to a firing grip. Even with 300grn hard-cast “bear loads”, it’s not bad.

I understand. I'm no stranger to a single action or any other for that matter. Some brands or designs, maybe. It's a pretty gun non the less. That's what caught my eye. Plus I thought it could've been some exotic big bore cartridge

That's real purty!

I use an old electric carving knife with the bypassing blades. Keeps from pulling the foam and making weird cuts

This looks really nice.

Looks good. Better than this slop.

Getting the case together to fly to Montana this week.

I’ve had good results using a carpet knife. That looks really detailed.
