    Well, it could be - but the original block would have been for .50-70. Looks like a nice specimen.

    These boxes were used by several states. I don't recall all of them, but I think most of the boxes retained the same "NG" plate. I think New Jersey changed some of the plates, but at least New York and Pennsylvania kept the National Guard plates like yours. The original inserts were, as you said, for 50-70.

    I've seen some for 20 rounds that must be the 45-70 blocks. I bought this one to use while shooting my rifles because it Was 50-70.
