ramrod retainer spring ?

rebs · February 22, 2017, 06:09 PM

I need a ramrod retainer spring for my T/C new englander, does anyone have one or know where I can get one ? I have searched all over the internet but could not find one.

You see them quite often, on EBay and I'll bet GunBroker ,ight carry them as well. Now then, other M/L manufacturers use similar rod retentions. Might look into them as well. They are not very expensive ....

Be Safe !!!!

Depending on your firelock, I'd look at Lyman or even Traditions (and perhaps TC, but I'm not sure if they use one) for their spring and modify it (size it) to fit.

I have made a couple ramrod retainer springs using spring stock that are flat "helper springs" for old double hung windows. I make them to just catch the tip of the rod when it is all of the way in.

No idea how current this is.

Forget about getting any support from TC, unless you know someone there. I know that the Lyman would work and not sure about Traditions. ......

I just ordered one also.everything went through and I printed the receipt. Looks like it is in stock. Just hope this is a legitimate web sight.
Thank you for the link, I appreciate it

T. O'Heir Thank you for the link. I ordered one and got a confirmation email and got another email this morning with an order number and receipt. I am looking forward to my ramrod not sliding out when the muzzle is pointing down.

44Dave - that's pretty clever.

Got a old clip with a broken spring. Such a spring can be modified to replace the original under-rib ram rod tensioner.
