In terms of avoiding lacing, if you don't mind making it a tight fit, check if a sewn-to-fit mocked up cartridge holder will slip over the pistol grip on the stock from the front - either entirely over the action or with the stock off. Sling swivel can be used to retain the holder from slipping forwards if it's well reinforced. Hardened/waxed leather will be less prone to relaxing and getting loose over time/repeated wetting, but do test runs first, waxed leather doesn't behave the same way as unwaxed.

After a bit of research, I think I will probably just stitch it in place using a baseball stitch. The pistol grip will stop it from sliding over from the front, but good idea, something I hadn't thought of. I will likely be using the sling swivel as an anchor.
