One of our older gun club members has a Wesson Box Lock muzzle loader in 58 caliber. It is one of the ones made by Richland Arms many years ago and was only shot twice. It is 58 caliber which I hear is pretty rare and a huge barrel probably 1 1/2 across the flats. The metal is case colored with no wear and has some very fancy walnut and double set triggers which are still as set from the factory it feels.
The internals of the box lock seem a tad complicated and the biggest advantage I can see is the coil spring for the hammer and all enclosed so no dust/dirt/wood dust can get into the parts. Anyways does anyone have one of these and if so how do you like it?
