    Ramrod question

    I have one of those brass ramrods from October Country. It works great but is too heavy hanging below my long Pennsylvania rifle barrel. I've also tried one of those plastic delron rods and it's like trying to push a wet noodle down the barrel. Wood it is for me.

    Cleaning/plugging vent without leaking

    I use a round toothpick and keep a roll of Teflon pipe tape in my shooting box. A couple of wraps of Teflon tape around the toothpick which I drive into the touch hole works real well for me.

    Pilgrim guns

    Did you look at the second link? It appears to me that they found quite a bit more details but I'm not sure if they are still doing further digs at the site. Fascinating stuff.
