Love the threaded inserts for keeping the cleaning jags tidy.
Show us your range box!

Nicely done. This is the style I'm hoping to go for when I make my box. The plastic box just lacks the class or respect these firearms deserve.
I have two range boxes. One for .50 cal and bigger. one for .45 cal and smaller. Both are very unassuming .30 cal. ammo cans that hold all the necessary items for a day at the range. They work for my needs.
Hard to beat the utility of a surplus ammo can. I have a few I use for shotgun stuff, first aid kit, tool kit etc. Waterproof and just about indestructible.
Ok, so far you win the most detailed box. Just awesome!
Thanks, it was an interesting project.

You asked for it, so here ya go my friend. Is set up for an all day range session to accommodate both flintlock and percussion long guns of any caliber I choose to shoot?
Grab this box, powder horn, range rod, and out the door for a wonderful day at the range.
Respectfully, Cowboy

That's what I call access! Nice job! What's the copper attachment on the side? Grab handle? I see the crossed rifles, you infantry? The more I look at this, the more I see. Are those sides hand planed? You built that box, right? It looks hand built.

Simple and to the point! I'm sure this was how the first ones were designed.
Man, looks like you got it all Ed, love the split playing card display and hidden powder lid. What are you shooting there?
That is my 50 cal. built by Ron Luckinbil. He has built me and my wife several rifles and a smoothbore.
Very nice indeed. Bangin photographs to. Real ML eye candy! Looks like the April photograph in the Muzzleloading calendar.

A lot of the very nice wood boxes displayed. They are really sharp-looking, and a pleasure to look at the unique designs/set ups. My range box is boughten rather than homemade. I use for my pistols, Trapper .50cal and Underhammer .36cal. I take everything needed for either pistol when I head to the range with this set up.
Black box is a Stack-On tool box sans top tray. Mainly used for larger or bulkier stuff like my ramrods, hammer, and so on. Milky-colored box has sized compartments, formerly a tackle tray. Have my .36 cal and .50 cal tools in the two top right compartments, cleaning supplies since I do some prelim cleaning at the range, and shooting supplies for both calibers.
Milky box angled into the black box leaves room for whichever pistol I choose to shoot. The back of the box is deep enough for me to put either pistol in. Everything I need can be carried in one hand. In my other hand I carry my homemade wood pistol reloading stand. Takes just a short time to add in the caliber of RBs I need, and the pistol. I like simple.

That's basically how I roll now but part of the reason I started this thread was to get ideas on a box I'm going to build. Some of this stuff is just awesome. It really means I have to swing for the fences to make something that'll impress this crowd, lol.
I like this thread. It should be continued or made "sticky"...
We could always expand it. Show us your possibles? Show us your musket?
