Traditions Trapper Pistol. if you have one please respond.

[schuetzenisbestBP]

a while, probably close to a year now, if not more, i broke the ramrod for my traditions trapper pistol snapped at the brass ends. I can't repair it, it's past that. I haven't bought one since and as a result fell out of muzzleloading for a good while.

So, I'm looking into purchasing another on track of the wolf. If you have one, could you measure it and reply here? I don't believe they have a specific traditions or cva rod. I also can't find specs on the traditions website other than the thread size I would like the diameter and full length if you could.

My Traditions Kentucky has a 5/16" or likely 8mm ( .3125" vs .315 mm)

My measurements are as follows, seems not to be as parallel as would think, bulges in the middle

Mine is 9 3/16” long and the wood diameter varies between.340 and .350.

I may be wrong on this but you still have the broken ram rod so why don't you measure it? This way you will have the EXACT measurement of YOUR ram rod. This should not be that hard to do.

Funny, but the meaning I got out of the OP was that he didn't have it any more, and that's why he was asking for measurements.

Maybe due to different experience. I once screwed up putting a new tip on a ramrod, which spoiled the whole thing of course, so I broke it and threw out the pieces.

Those were the measurements for a Trapper ramrod? I was not clear if the replies were about the Trapper or the Kentucky pistol that was mentioned. I have a Trapper if more measurements are needed.

Why not just go to your local hardware store and buy a hickory dowel of the proper diameter? Ramrods are easy to make.

Yes it’s a trapper. I built it from a kit.

Looks nice! Thanks. It appears you've answered his inquiry and I won't need to get the measurements on my Trapper. Pistol is here in the house but the calipers are out in my shop and it's raining sideways here.

Traditions has good customer service. Don't always have parts in stock but you get to talk to a real person. I never use the stock ramrod anymore. I bought a 12inch starter from track of the Wolf and keep that in my belt. One move loading.
