Neat idea. I'm still using a single stage but I'm thinking of getting a Lee progressive and would be interested in doing something similar. What did you use for cutting the holes?

Very Kliff!

In response to your question, my mold business is a direct result of my interest. That has led me to a very through understanding of online languages that manipulate my store and this forum. For me this is all tied together.

I understand one thing leading to another. I shoot IDPA and a little 3-gun. I like shooting 3-gun to play with different rifles to see how they handle in situations other than what I get at the range. I'm also a Garand nut. Therefore, while most shoot a gee-whiz AR, I usually shoot a Garand. I've also used an M-1 Carbine, Steyr Scout, and once- my M1941 Johnson.

There is no good way to carry Garand clips that's convenient and fast access. There are a few people out there who shoot something out of the ordinary like a Garand, and all have the same problem: you can find nifty carriers for AR mags, but not for less common stuff. This led to me to making my own from Kydex, then I went ahead and started a Kydex gear business last fall. There are 900 million people making Kydex gear, but few making custom gear for oddball guns. I make M1903 stripper clip carriers, a carrier for SKS clips, pouches for detachable box magazine bolt actions, 10-22 mag carriers, etc.
Business is slow but steady, and you know what? That's just about right!

I'm a leather holster junkie. I get more excited over a new holster than a new gun. And now I'm making Kydex gear, of all things. I love leather, but for some uses, Kydex is the better material.
Now the garage is has Kydex sheets of all colors (including pink) stacked all over, scraps on the floor, dust in the air... Maybe I'll get that new barn I've been wanting yet!

I do not. Not yet anyway. I make things as people ask for them (or as I need something) and nobody has asked for that yet. I don't own anything that uses moon clips right now either. I have thought about it, and would like to make something for them just to see what results from it. Maybe I'll buy some moon clips and play around.

I do have an idea for a speed strip carrier. Just a small sleeve-like deal to hold the strip when carried in the pocket, because mine always get dirty with lint and sweat-soaked.
