Show us your range box!

Round top lids are neat.
I've been told that they were originally invented to be used on full size trunks. The kind people used to ship their clothing and other valuables in, on wagons, ships and trains. Because of their round tops, it was difficult for the loaders to stack other heavy trunks on top of them so it prevented the damage that doing that could cause to the trunk and the stuff inside it.

I've heard of that also.

That does make sense.

Ok dude, you gotta show us the inside of that box and the gun you shoot. Any provenance? Just a beautiful box.

I made it. Just a general stuff carrier, no specific gun.

"Show me your range box?" Sounds like a question that might get you slapped if you ask the wrong person that doesn't know what you are talking about. I didn't realize that what they were called, but I have a nice one that I just went through last weekend. It's amazing as to what you'll find doing so. I found duplicates of stuff I re-bought sometimes two or three times. I'll post some pictures later.

Awesome dovetails and carving on that box. Snap a few more pictures of your shop, please. I love to see other people's shops, and that anvil and vise in the background are more than interesting.

a beautiful leather box.

 

[CherokeeLawman]

Yep, I do the same thing for some things like slug gun matches. Round ball guns not so much. Just load from a flask or horn.
