Would love to have a custom made alum, steel or brass ramrod made for my Lyman GP rifle. I know I can get a synthetic rod and I might go that route - but honestly think metal rods are better. I had one on my Zouave .58 cal Civil War rifle and liked it a lot.

Does ANYONE offer them for sale?

Thanks...

anything softer than your barrel would be ok. i would go with the synthetic one. gl

Yeah that's what I figured would be less abrasive to the rifling, etc. Thanks.

I use solid aluminium ones I pick up the doll at the hardware store and cut it to length and drill and tap both ends. If you have a drill press and know how to use it it takes about 15 minutes to make one.

Yeah - unfortunately I don't have a drill press - wish I did tho!

You might want to check these folks out and see if they have what you want:

Go down to "ramrods"; they seem to have a fair number of options.

Good luck...........

Thanks for the link - I will look around.

Off the top of my head tho it looks like the site that I have been looking at has lower prices!

You can drill and tap the ends of a solid rod without a drill press or lathe. See how in the Reference Forum: http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/blac...solid-rod.html

I have stainless steel, aluminum, and brass ones. I like the strength of the steel and as long as a bore guide is used I don't see how you could damage your rifling.
