5' X 7/16" hickory bare wood straight grain ramrod

[Larry (Omaha)]

My present build is a 20 guage 48" barrel smoothbore and will need a range rod. I like my range rods to be Hickory and longer than the barrel by 8 to 12 inches. I have not found a ready made source for what I want. I can make one, but too lazy.
Any help where to go would be appreciated.

You can call Log Cabin and ask Liza but every time I been up there the longest ones were 48" .... You can use a 48" ramrod and get a custom made extension , be easy to make , a friend or local machinist or yourself , just a thought or you can ask a lumber man , a saw mill or lumber fella ....get a longer piece of hickory ....ramrods take a bit of time to take down but nothing difficult about it ...been doin it for decades until I finally got a Mike Lea taper tool from a generous fella from Connecticut , Mr. Hubbard . Best of luck bud ....ifn ya need help get a hold of me ,I'd be glad to help ya ....take care

I got a bundle of 5’ long rods about 15 years ago. There was a guy named Steve Bailey who made them. He retired. I’m not sure if anyone took it back up.

One of your best bets is local small business sawmills who are cutting slabs. Get a pignut hickory slab and start splitting it.

For a range rod. Take two proper size ram rod tips. 10/32. And a thread insert. Just screw them together
