BALL STARTER



I have been making a few historically correct ball starters based on this information provided on this forum by Spence 10 on 5-27-17:
_Scloppetaria:_ by Capt. Henry Beaufroy, 1808 [Henry Benjamin Hanbury Beaufroy], originally published as “Scloppetaria, by a Corporal of Riflemen”
https://books.google.com/books?id=...BwMQ6AEIUTAN#v=onepage&q=scloppetaria&f=false

Here's his rammer:

As a result a while ago, I had a forum member ask for a starter that could be used with his rifle of .36 caliber. The normal 3/8” brass rod (.375”) is too large of a diameter for the .36 barrel, so I made one with a 5/16” (.3125”) diameter brass rod.

Yesterday I made up another with the 5/16” rod and is being offered for sale.

This one I made has a solid 5/16” brass rod with CURLEY ASH end piece. I drilled and tapped an 8 X 32 hole so that, if you wanted, you could screw in a jag to accommodate a larger ball. I will ship this to you for $18.50. I prefer PP F & F or MO, Check or Cash.
