Is your Thunderhawk a rifle, (24" Barrel) or carbine, (21" barrel) ? I'm not sure about the rifle ramrod, but I have two carbines, .50, and .54. These both came with factory wooden black painted ramrods. These ramrods are 20 3/4" long, and 3/8" around. This specific ramrod was only used on T/C Thunderhawk carbnes, and T/C Scout carbines. The T/C White Mountain Carbine, which also has a 21" barrel uses a different ramrod, 21" long, and brown in color. Try calling T/C Arms, as finding an aftermarket for these is almost impossible. You could also consider making your own. If you do call T/C let us know how you make out.

I found the conversion kit online (thank you midway USA) to allow for use of 209 primers! so i'll have that on this week!

I have made my own in the past. I take the old tips and burn out the wood inside. I have used a small propane torch, or thrown them in the woodstove. Believe it or not, this does not harm the tips. You will have to turn down the ends, as they have a smaller diameter than the rod shaft. The tips have a shallow thread to them, so they screw onto the tips. I have used a small amount of JB Weld, inside the tips to make sure they hold. Also check out EBay. I have seen ramrods for the Thunderhawk rifle on it. A ramrod from a Thunderhawk rifle, Firehawk, Scout rifle, or Encore 209X50 will be the right size. Currently on EBay there is a ramrod that will fit yours. EBay item # 180551860052. T/C ramrod # 9117. Polymer coated ramrod with stainless steel tips. These are IMHO the best ramrods T/C ever made. Unlike hard aluminum, they will not harm the crown of the barrel when loading, or swabbing, and they are almost unbreakable. They are a dark gray in color. I have them on several of my T/C ML's. Good Luck !
