Old Style Handgun Range Box
Gentlemen, I've been searching the internet trying to locate the fabrication plans for, or and old style wooden handgun range box similar to the ones popular in the 60's ~ 80's. These were typically 4 to 5 gun cases with a hinged side that folded up and typically had a bracket for spotting scope mounting. My dad had one however it disappeared along with several of his guns prior to his death a few years back. Any links or help would be appreciated.

I had no idea anyone was still making the old "Bullseys Boxes." I made one about 30 years ago and gained a much greater appreciation for talent of a true cabinet-maker! Mine looked pretty rough.

I still have the one that my dad made circa 1965. He was definitely an amateur woodworker.Charles L. Cotton wrote:I had no idea anyone was still making the old "Bullseys Boxes."

Re: Old Style Handgun Range Box
That looks like a real worthwhile project. Let's keep looking through the woodworking forums for the plans. Somebody's got 'em.

Like I said, somebody's bound to have a plan. That box is a beauty and will be a worthy project for someone with a greater skill level than me.
Thanks for sharing.
