    WTB Artillery Vent Pick

    I'd like to buy a brass vent pick, the one available from Reg Quartermaster is not long enough for me.
    Looking for approx 11" long.
    Can anyone suggest where to purchase one?
    ( please reply here , or e mail me @brewer000@verizon.net)
    Thanking you in advance.

    When I make them, I use 3/16 bronze brazing rod. Watch, because bronze and brass work harden, so you may need to anneal the rod before bending the ring or it will break. I would advise against rod stock at the big box stores. The ones in my area do not sell a suitable diameter, and it is very hard.
