About this model

Protection sleeve / holder for Ruger American short-action bolts. Protects your bolt when separated from the rifle and releases the tension on the spring when stored. Fits Ruger American / American Ranch .308 and 5.56/.223 at least (tested). Might fit others as well. Couldn't find a free one on the net, so I designed one myself. Feel free to remix and modify this for other brands and calibers. The Fusion file is included. One version with a small hanger to hang it in your weapons cabinet, and one version without the hanger.
