Title: Looking for my first long box
Post by: Dazzler on May 03, 2021, 09:43:39 PM
Been reading several posts on makers and recommendations.  Have a few on the short list and still contacting a few about availability.

Anyone know who is near North AL that I might need to consider?

These are in no order, Jeff Mckamey, Ernie Fetters, Scott Witter, T J Johnson, Marlin Watkins, Larry Stephens and Ralph Snodgrass these are just a few and I'm sure others will add to this list...

Thanks.  I've made contact with SS Custom.

Some really good ones popped up in the classifieds today. They're as good as your gonna find.
Ohh, I see your looking for a long box. The ones in the classified are short boxes.

What about a Halloran long box? I've had good luck with his short boxes.
