Looking for cartridge boxes
« on: April 04, 2012, 06:08:11 PM »
Does anyone know where I can find repro .38LC vintage cartridge boxes? Liberty Shooting used to have them, but he's out of business. I have a '51 Navy conversion being worked on by Hoof Hearted and I've been loading up heel-base .38LC BP rounds while I'm waiting. I just don't want to go the plastic box route on this one.
A lot of what is taken for engineering fact, if you dig into it far enough, is often just someone's opinion.

Cheyenne Pioner products makes them.  midway USA used to carry them, Buffalo Arms still does, and I think Track of the Wolf and a few others do.  Google search Cheyenne cartridge boxes.

I saw the Cheyenne boxes, but their's are marked for the .38 Special. I'm wanting .38 Long Colt labeling.

Those look cool, Curley. If I can find the dimensions to lay them out with I'm sure I could make my own. I'm ideally looking for the .38LC boxes without the dividers when the cartridges are alternated up-down.

Get the Cheyenne Box, then contact River City John on the NCOWS site, he probably has labels that can be copied.
