You've never had a stuck ramrod?What's a ramrod puller?
Guess I been lucky all these years.You've never had a stuck ramrod?
Not being sarcastic, just very curious......how do you even get a ramrod stuck?? I have used
ramrods since the late '60's and never even heard of such an event.
I just went online and got a half dozen nylon brushes. Never tried wrapping them in a patch but will give it a try, wish I thought of that.Wow Firewater, nine lives!?! I don't have any idea of your Christ beliefs, but God has been wanting
you to stick around for awhile!
In barrels which there is no option but to "bend the bristles", I use nylon brushes for the very reason
you gave. Also use a somewhat smaller brush wrapped with a patch rather than using a jag. Always
shot conicals and never ball & patch. Perhaps these are the reasons for never having the same problem.
Thanks for your explanation!
I've seen those, at least the ones that use a co2 cartridge. Looking for one of those since it seems all the pullers are out of stock. How did you ruin your barrel? I don't want to do the same thing.I've read you can pull the nipple and screw in an adapter to use compressed air or a grease gun(which would make quite a mess) to remove obstructions from barrels. I wish I would have read that before ruining a perfectly good Renegade barrel.

I had one stuck on a little 40 caliber side lock gun. upon examination the ramrod was fixed in the stock. I drilled a small hole in the brass tip and inserted a six penny finish nail which gave me the grip I needed to pull it from the stock. After a little bore butter the problem was solved..Guess I been lucky all these years.
