Traditions Deerhunter

[forrest-hunter]

Anyone know diameter and length for replacement ramrod

 

[Steve Wagner]

Not sure this helps Forrest, but I think the Deerhunter is pretty close in dimensions and thimbles to their Woodsman I own. 28" barrels, I think.
Its ramrod's total length is 27 5/16" with a brass ball driver on one end and a fitting for a jag, ball remover etc. on the other.
I mic'd its diameter at .351", so somewhere around 11/32". It may nominally be called 3/8". I think Track of the Wolf has a variety of replacements. The delron ones will feel like spaghetti, but don't break generally. I only use mine when hunting. I have a stainless steal range rod from Track or RMC Ox-Yoke that is best for plinking. Good luck.

Traditions also [I think] makes a fiberglass rod that can be cut to length. It may come with the fittings. make sure you pin them if you go that route. SW

The deerhunter has a 24" barrel. A24" rod should work.

Thanks longcruise. I was shooting from the hip because I confused models. I can't remember, but one model is like a toned down, mod Woodsman. Maybe with a 28 twist.
Hip shooting is better done with pistols, obviously. My bad. SW

Factory ramrod is 3/8" diameter x 26 1/2" long.

Now we really have the OP confused ! Maybe he fled.
I did mic my Traditions factory rod at .351, which is about in the middle between 5/16 and 3/8. They call it Delrin, but it seems a lot flimsier to me. Still works in the field. SW

I've made ramrods from Easton XX75 arrows. You can make various lenghts, comes 32" uncut.

The tow delrin for that model fits and is decent.

As suggested by others, check TOW’s website (or call them) for ramrods available for specific model guns, or measure and make your own. Easy project to accomplish. If a DIY project is above your skill level, think outside the box and contact Traditions directly. Guessing they will be helpful.

9mm from track of the wolf.

Factory ramrod is 3/8" diameter x 26 1/2" long.

No 9mm slightly smaller than 3/8

October Country has a page just for this issue... https://www.octobercountry.com/categories/CROSS-REFERENCE-ROD-LENGTH-FOR-GUNS/

Traditions: Buckhunter In-Line, Fox River, Fox River Scout, Frontier Carbine, 36 cal Frontier Scout, Deerhunter, Pioneer Carbine, Whitetail (L) 23 3/8. (D) 9MM*

Traditions: Deerhunter Scout (L) 21 1/4. (D)9MM*

You could call and ask October Country and/or call Track and see what they can make for you. I didn't see any items on either site to the 23 3/8 length x 9mm You may get a suggestion on another brand and size that could work or maybe one or the other will custom build you a pair of rods.

Just measure the barrel and add 1/2". The ramrod pipes can be measured also but are probably 3/8". Really basic common sense!

Except they are made in Spain so 9mm .360 instead of 3/8 .375

Yes, I had a frustrating experience when I made a new 3/8" rod for a CVA Kentucky.
