Simply outstanding. You could make a living selling these.

Interesting, I'm newly retired and thinking about a side hustle
I've no idea what something like this would be worth

That's up to you, but I would pay $100.00 for it shipped to my door.

Honestly, that's what I thought as well.
With time parts and shipping I'd make a lot more part time at McDonalds

 I'd like to see some of those, OTBF would be a good place.

Folks with heavy Hawken rifles would greatly benefit from this idea.

I would say it is they had hardwood, leather and antlers. Fancier than I have seen but would pass muster with me.

I don't see any plastic. Wood, antler, leather, leather thongs and a brass tack. Historically correct, probably not but something like it probably much cruder I am sure was. Regardless it is seriously cool, and I would love to have it and would definitely use it.

Wasn't made to be historically correct. If it is in any way then that's just luck.
Was made because my long rifle is @#@$% heavy !!
