Watched the movie again and appreciate the number of what seem to be original (given 1941 production date) ML rifles. However I noticed that many had the ramrod sticking 3-4 inches past the muzzle of the rifle. Anytime I had a ramrod that was too long I seemed to catch it on branches and break it. Was this just prop room carelessness or historically accurate?

I have had two original late 19th century squirrel rifles with ramrods like that. My interpretation is that it just makes things easier when drawing out the rod, since they're smallbore and less material to get a hand out for pulling it out from under the barrel.
