Thin Walled Brass Tubing

[BigSkyRambler]

Hoping someone here can put me on to what I need. I am needing to replicate some ramrod pipes for a Numrich Arms Swivel Rifle. The ones on the gun have an OD of about .440and a wall thickness of about .030. The ramrods that came with the gun are .375-77. The tubing I have found with a limited online search has much thicker walls. They are straight tubes that are silver soldered to barrels. No pins.

Don't know if it will work for you, but i have made ram rod ferrules out of .357 & .44 mag pistol brass. Cut off the rimmed head and ream out the inside and bevel the ends.

Go to a hobby shop. They usually have brass tubing in various sizes.

I had thought about that, but they are a tad short for what I need, about 1.5". Maybe .444 cases?

I get all of mine from our local Tru Value hardware store. Mine has a very good stock of thin walled Brass tuibng in 3 foot lengths.
Hope this helps?

A 4570 case is about 2.10” long, including the rim. It would be easy to get a 1.75” long tube out of one.

Hobby stores that cater to model airplane builders, also as mentioned tru value, I was like you needed a brass tube for a drop tube for un-mentionable BP guns, looked every where one day was in a tru value store and ask a clerk about brass tubing ,he said follow me it was brass tube nirvana.

The only part they had was an oversized buttplate that I bought and ground down to fit. Original bent and broken at heel.

Your goto site is McMaster Carr. 10mm ID x 11mm OD. In inches, .390 ID x .433 OD.

 

[Nameless Hunter]

Or go with the 3/8 ID x 7/16 OD, and carefully enlarge the ID.

I go to the auto part's store and get a section of steel break line, and solder / silver braze the proper item' s on either, if you are afraid of it bending, it won't just insert into it a metal rod.

I get all my brass supplies for range rods, short starters, Etc. from online metals they have a huge supply of all sizes.
