Capbox/patchbox question ??

steviebiggun · 12-15-2007, 06:48 PM

Hi, I have a Lyman plains rifle, I want to dress it up a bit. I have been looking for someone who handles capboxes/patchboxs that I could install I would like to have it in a silver color. alot of companies I have found that handle these, either you have to polish them yourself, or you have to buy all the parts separetly. what I want is one that is ready to install after I cut the hole out. ( with all the parts ) Thanks. Steve

Its easy to polish. I had to do it on my deercreek's patch box. Started out with 220 grit sandpaper on a sandblock, took out all the roughtness/file marks and then used 400 grit and worked my way to 2000 grit to really polish it. Used 0000 steelwool after the 2000 grit.
This would look nice on a GPR.

I rarely carry patches in a patch box, but its a good place to store items such as cleaning jags, ball puller or even a small tin of extra caps.

Dixie has been around many years. They used to have a much better selection than they do today, and their prices are a the very top. Track of the Wolf and Pecatonica Longrifles are also good, as well as ML Builder's Supply. But MLBS seems to have a very extensive variety of locks, furniture, etc.
