Looking for a tapered, seamed, threaded, historically accurate ramrod tip for my rifle. All the repros I’ve seen are turned from solid stock- looking for a period correct one. Preferably 10/32 if possible.
My ramrod is for a 45 rifle with a fairly narrow entry pipe.
Any ideas or leads?
Thanks
 
Back then people made their own equipment regularly.
Whatever you make for yourself will be authentic.

I'm working on a new ramrod, lookin for a chance to get one from that Russian thistle tree that grows everywhere in norherndakota
Immigrants in the early 1900 planted these everywhere an they are tough.

Will be using a 30-06 shell casing with the shoulder cut off for the ends, likely glue them in with amazin goo.

Some will say it's no good as it's NOT historicaly accurate.

But for me an my kind, it's right. It may take awhile for it to be historical, but folks have always built an rebuilt an repaird their equipment using what was at hand an what worked.

Interesting choice- hope it works out for ya.
I’m definitely looking for something a little more documented in the period I work with.
Here’s an example of what I’m looking for if anyone knows someone who can make or sell them
