Ramrod Worm

[Josh Crider]

I am looking for a patch worm like the one pictured that will thread onto my ramrod. I have seen other people with them but havent been able to locate one for myself.

What kind of ramrod? That style, I believe, is most commonly found on military rods like CW rifled muskets. What thread is the hole? There are many vendors who can sell you a worm but the thread style/count on the end of your rod must be known.

You need to know the threads of the rammer. G. Gedney Godwin has a 10-32 version.

Are they male or female threads? My ramrod has 10-32 female threads. Im looking for a male end worm.

Try Dixie, Log Cabin Shop, or other muzzle loading suppliers

Those were all female. Track of the Wolf has male.

Your image is a tow worm. Patch worms have thinner arms (for grabbing a lost patch) but the tow worm does that as well.

I have found 10-32 allthread (short pieces) at Lowes (if I remember correct) and also some 8-32, both steel & brass. I've cut them down and screwed the piece into the jag or ramrod as needed. A matching nut will lock it in place.

Thanks guys. Looking for one myself.

All mentioned also sell the 10-32 to 8-32 adapters, TOTW sells adapter for M5-.8 metric for Pedersoli Bess or Charleville conversion to 10/32 as well.
They sell male to female, and adapters with male threads on both ends. The all thread is cheaper though, as they charge anywhere from $0.99 to $3.50 for their adapters, depending on all brass, steel thread in brass, or all steel, or stainless steel.
The Sutler of Mt. Misery GGGodwin has a musket worm, for .69 & .75 caliber that is very nice. I have one. It is female, so you would need one of those double male end 10-32 adapters or all thread. I like it, as it is larger than the others most sell that go to .58 caliber. You can use them on the larger bores as well though. This one is pricey I will admit.

I see Stumpkiller already beat me to this one.
