RE: Replacement ramrod
I was on a late Michigan UP ML deer hunt in 1995 and broke the wood ram rod for my Plains rifle. I was lucky not to injury my hand and also have taken my range rod along. It sure is a pain to carry a range rod thru a cedar swamp.
When I got home I went to Alburn Michigan to buy a new one. I was told the best rod for my use was this one
Renegade & Big Boar
26"
9102
Blued Hardware
Looks good againest the blued barrel of my plains model and is as tough as nails.
Sure hated to see them closeup shop there in Alburn along withmany others.

I lucked out today, I was at Wal Mart and picked up a Flint River range rod for $4.00 today. I did not need one, but for that price I can always use one around the house... Plus they had Pyrodex down to $8.00 a pound and Triple Seven down to $10.00 apound, so I got five pounds of each of them to supplement my addiction...

I also picked up four jugs of Rusty Duck Black Powder Solvent, and they had the Remington Kleenbore Primers on sale for $3.00 so I got five of them. All their projectiles were gone, and there pellets had not came down in price I think because they were around $22.00 for a box of pellets. Well when I can get the other powders at that price, who needs pellets.
In fact after I got home I kicked myself for not getting more powder. My friend's wife is headed up there in two days, so the powder might even be less. I think I'll get another 10 pounds of Pyrodex and a couple more of Triple Se7en. (if it is not all gone)

RE: Replacement ramrod
If ya were looking for prodex our Wal Mart has lots of the stuff no T7 except pellets. I do not think they had it on sale though. Wasn't much of any thing else left other than that. I was looking for a 54 cleaning jag, found (4) 50's so bought all four and will double the patches up.
Went to a gun shop that usally has lots of ML stuff, I'll make a new post of that.

RE: Replacement ramrod
Just ordered the ramrod from RMC and a bunch of other miscellany. ML1142538 Black Anodized Aluminum Ramrods : 25 3/8 inches long for Traditions Lightning Bolt, TC Omega, PA Pellet $16.79. Quite definitive as to the fit, according to the e-mail back from RMC, so I am putting my trust in that outfit per your recommendation.
Thank you.
