(DETAIL from p. 152 of the above referenced source)



This one I made has a solid 3/8 "brass rod with MAPLE end piece. I drilled and tapped a 10 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.
