I am looking for either an original or very high quality replica ramrod for an 1842 musket. Does anyone know who might be able to provide a rod with correct taper? Or, does anyone have something in their parts stash? Thanks.

Check with Ed Knisely. He usually has quite a few ramrods, some original, some reconditioned(lengthened) and some repros. 717-741-2556. He will be at the Baltimore Gun show over the weekend and may not answer a call as he stays very busy there.

I have an original for $200 shipped. The rod is 41 and one half inches with heavy patina. The screw threads are gone. Send me a PM if interested and we can exchange emails and then I can send photos.
