Need a Patch Box installed

Post by triggerfinger »

I'd like to know if there is way to have a Patch Box installed on a Shiloh 1863 rifle. Does Shiloh do this work and has anyone ever had one done by them?

No one had a rifle that Shiloh put a patch box on?

Probably easier just to buy the a buttstock with patch box from Shiloh as a part than have them cut your stock for a patchbox

Ordered my rifle with one. Dont know if they do it as an after purchase service. Hate to give you the standard answer but..
Give them a call and they can give you a yes or no,price and production schedule.

You can send the gun back and we can put a patchbox in for you.

Hello Gents,

Just picked up my 1863 from Shiloh yesterday. Mine began life as a .54, saddle ring carbine. Kirk turned mine into a beautiful 26" sporter. Among other things, Kirk installed a patch box to my original stock. The rifle is amazing and could not have turned out better. As for the patch box...the fit and finish is spot on!

Thanks Kirk!
