Dixie Gun Works sells them. I suspect most of the suppliers do also.

I went to Walmart and bought a set of four plastic funnels in the houseware section for about a dollar. I cut the spout off the one that fit the ramrod and use the spout for a muzzle protecter.

Birdman, I like the way you think.

Back when I was a workin' man, I had access to the plumber's throw-away stuff. There were some short, funnel shaped nylon thingies, I think they were part of a flush valve assembly. Anyway, they made the nicest bore guides for 1/4" rods and they were FREE!

Muzzleloader Builder's supply...compared to Brownell's price of $6.50, MBLs are very inexpensive at a buck and a half or something.
I got a couple dozen of theirs several years ago and have them on all my range rods, in hunting pouches, etc...not sure if they're "delrin" or just white nylon, but they're tough as nails and last forever...plus they weigh nothing and are quiet which is why I especially like them for hunting...my underbarrel rods are solid brass and all the cleaning/seating jags in different caliber pouches have nylon muzzle guides already slid onto them.

BTW, I like the fact that the muzzle protectors made of delrin, or brass, act to center the ramrod, or range rod in the bore, keeping the rod off the lands of the barrel when I am cleaning or loading. There is much less a chance to get a patch loaded crooked behind a ball with this arrangement than using just a hickory rod.

And that is the purpose of the bore protectors, to keep the rod from rubbing against the bore . Emery

Hi another option for modern cleaning muzzle guides,rods,etc is www.deweyrods.com .They now make a muzzle loader line of accesories.I have the Dewey "Large Bore Rod" and use it for cleaning;its great. Just be careful when ordering because Dewey makes male and female ended rods.I do most of my ordering from Brownells if i can.Rgards,Mike

And still another option- the filler tube from a tubeless tire- pick them up at a tire shop-rubber outside so they don't hurt your barrel.
