Hi all, I thought I had book marked this site but I can't find it. I am looking for an extension for the short barrel revolver ram lever.
Thanks in advance. Bb

Not an extension really, but for the .44 caliber 1851 sheriff model I got a short piece of tough red hydraulic hose to stick in my pocket. A longer handle could better help with being consistent in loading shot to shot.
How about a piece of thick wall brass tubing?

Or I can find like a 1" diameter by maybe 6" and take it to my buddy and drill a hole in on end. Orr see the next post. I will check that out 1st
Found it! Thank you.
While not PC/HC, I find a 6" piece of heavy walled PVC pipe (under 1") serves well. Cheap and light, and effective.

I fing the issurs not that the lever length won't do the job but more that it's hard on my hand, pokes and cuts. One solution I found that helps was using .451 ball. Doesn't ring as good as a .454 but easier to ram non the less. Addition of a piece of leather to wrap around the sharpe edged latch helps with either.

Take the ram off your shooter and take a trip down to the hardware store and have a look around I am sure they will have something that will suit your needs. 
Then post a pic and show us what you came up with.

I took the easy way out and bought a Slix Hand from Badman Bullets.

I use a 8inch section of 1/2in (16) CANTEX rigid PVC to act as an extension on my break barrel air pistol an it is tough as nails and doesn't weigh anything much.
