Need a trapdoor ramrod

Howdy all..

The LGS has a pretty nice 1873 Trapdoor for sale cheap. It's cheap because it needs a rear sight and a ramrod. The rear sight is pretty easy to find but the ramrod is tougher. Are there any vendors that carry them or am I stuck with Epay?

Thanks!

Dixie used to sell a late model repro. Which Ramrod is it supposed to have?

Quick...thanks. That looks like the one. I looked all over SSfirearms and never saw it.

Thanks again!

Pitspitr, it takes the early standard type rod.

Go back to S&S & search part # 73S327, or page 16 of trapdoor parts.

Go to www.trapdoorcollector.com. Al Frasca has a wide assortment of original replacement parts for trapdoors.

Hope this helps.

$47.00 and $7.75 shipping for this original-it's for an '84 but I'd live with it for that price. Deal! I hope you were the one that got it!
