Source of longrifle range rods and cleaning rods

Does anyone know where I can find rods for a 42 inch barrel, 50cal.? TBONE

I think Track of the Wolf still carries them. I have one from them that is stainless steel,wood handle and sports a brass muzzle guard that I use during shooting sessions for loading and cleaning. Well made,should last dang near forever.

Tip Curtis has a great selection of steel, wood and brass range rods.

Flintlocks Inc. has a nice selection also.
Their number 317 933 3441

Jack Garner makes 42" ramrods with muzzle guide and jag included at a very good price. He makes them in stainless steel, wood, or a flex rod (delrin, I think). His site is www.tennesseevalleymanufacturing.com

Hardware store for a 5/16th steel rod, Track or wherever for a 3/8 OD rod tip and a 5/16th ID bore guide.

Glue the 3/8 OD rod tip with epoxy to the rod, drill and set a metal pin through both for extra security (drill before glue of course). Cut steel rod to desired length, drop the bore guide onto the rod and glue your preference of a handle onto the rod (wood ball, old solid door knob, a piece of 1" dowell rod, etc., etc.) You could weld a steel "T" handle onto it if you like. Screw your prefered jag into the rod tip and you are ready to go and can change calibers easily.

Cain's is another source for long rods, of any length you desire. Find their address in " Links".

The plastic 48in rods are all over the place. I got mine for $12 a few years back.

I had my ramrod made custom.

TBONE,
www.DixieGunworks.com has about any type rod you might be looking for.

You may try http://www.octobercountry.com/products3.php?productid=187. I was thinking about getting a good cleaning rod for the exact barrel length and bore cal. that you mentioned.

:bow: I agree with JB as October Country supplies the BEST in brass rods. I frankly think plastic rods are dangerous and fibreglas darn near ruinous to barrels. As far as wood is concerned DO NOT use Home Dopey dowels, if you want wood try this Virtually Indestructible Ramrods

For my Charleville, I needed one right away so I ended up buying 2 brass rods at WalMart and using a section of one with the other to extend it. It works great, and when I'm shooting my other guns I have the 2nd rod.

A good welding shop will have braze rod in 3/8". Drill and tap for the jag and add a handle of choice (mine is a Pool ball - #10 :grin: )

I received great service from him on a custom ramrod for my rifle.
