I have not had much luck finding information on boxlocks by contemporary builders. I am interested in getting one built. Any info and pics would be appreciated.
Thanks

Do a search for stolzersongunsmith . I too have been looking at a boxlock rifle and came across their web site. Nice looking rifles.

I too like the work shown on his website. Check out this review of the .45 with walnut stock he proudly displays.

Wow!!! thanks for that info..I too will keep searching. I'm leaning towards buying a parts kit form Pecatonica Longrifles and building my own Allen box lock.
I've built several rifles with Pete Allan actions. They are nice actions and have good triggers. In my opinion they look best with an octagon barrel 1 1/8 inch at the breech.
I have had to bend the hammer on a couple to better strike the nipple but other than that have had no problems.

I had a friend who had quite a selection of M/L's and his Wesson was one of my favorites, I always have wanted one, but never have run into one for sale.
The one TOW is not in my price range, nice but too much money for my budget.
