Where can one obtain a Blakeslee Ctg Box ( Reproduction ) for a 56-50 Armi Sport .

Borderstates Leather works or Carrico's used to make them. Don't know if they still offer them.

Thanks will check

You might also want to try C&C Sutlery. They list one but it's only $80.00 which leads me to suspect its foreign made. I have one I purchased from a fellow reenactor who I believe had it made by Borderstates. He used it for years and so did I. Still in nice shape.

Easiest way to find who makes them NOW, just do a Google search - your parameters should read:
Blakeslee Cartridge Box
and you should get many options to look at.

Looks like there's not a source any more for a 13 tube one?

Hello:
I searched as Two Flints suggested and did not see "Coon Creek Old West", but they did appear when searched under their name. Within cartridge boxes is a Blakeslee box. Sit down before looking at the price. I bought one, used as-new, via a SSS member. No comparison to the imported ones. Coon Creek's is museum grade. A friend wanted mine a few years back and won't part with it. Coon Creek might be able to convince their artisan to do a larger one, but cost and delay might be prohibitive. Another aspect is weight. The 56-50 ctg's are heavy at roughly 500 grains each. A 13-tube Blakeslee full of them can equal the weight of a carbine. Smiles.

I bought a 6 tube Blakeslee box last week from Coon Creek. Excellent quality, but the tubes are aluminum tubing, still very serviceable. I
