question about ramrods????

[camoloc]

on my MH sea service pistol........the ramrod has threading on the end.

pics I've seen of authentic ramrods way back when have them too.

anyone know why these were threaded???

and no they weren't able to order palm savers from MidWay back then.

thanks for any thoughts/historical info on this.

To take a tow worm for cleaning. Ball pullers and jags weren't unknown back then. The pointy threaded end also served to remind one not to put their palm over the end of the rammer when loading.

so pullers, jags, worms, etc were female threaded back then?

damn now will have to make some!!!!
