I had to order new brass ramrods for the .54cal GM smoothbore barrel I recently got as it's 33" long and I didn't have any to fit.
Wanted the lighter tubular ones for still hunting / squirrel hunting and called Warren Muzzleloading in Arkansas where I'd bought some in the past...they've sold out, so I tried October Country and the rods John made for me are outstanding.
They seem to be of thicker wall construction so they're a lot stronger than the ones from Warren, and a little heavier, but still nothing like the weight of a solid brass rod...hunted it until noon today and weight was no problem.
Also, the thick walls allowed John to pin and finish off the ends in such a way that you can't tell there are pins there without holding it up close and studying it...a really high quality job...so if you have an interest in some custom length brass (or stainless) rods, October Country is one place that does a fine job at a good price.
