    Put the leg strap through the square part not the holster then put some stitches of waxed thread between the loop you show and the bottom of the holster. Run them vertically and pull them tight and the muzzle won’t touch them.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    You gave me an idea I may try, not quite what you said but the vertical part. What if I run the leather strip in the opposite way, from outside to inside and let them hang out the end of the holster and then tie them off? The offending loop will be on the back of the outside leather.

    Any of the above, or just dose the dang thong with neet's foot oil, and burnish the inside area in question with a piece of pipe from the bottom. Kind of like doing a few hundred draws without chewing it up.

    This is the solution cleaning up the edge will fix the problem, it's called beveling and it should already have been done. You could also after beveling the leather burnish it using beeswax.
