ABSTRACT:
A muzzle loader rod assembly of the present invention is an elongate sectioned rod, preferably made of brass is disclosed. At one remote end of the rod, a slide telescopingly surrounds the rod and is removably secured thereto by means of a set screw or similar fastener to prevent rattling when the product is in the field and to further secure the parts together. A wide variety of tools can be secured to the end of the ramrod accessory tamper portion and coupler including bullet removers, patch removers, tampers, cleaning tools, brushes, and the like. In use for bullet removal, the bullet removal member is secured to one end of the accessory tamper end of the rod, and then tapped in place by dropping the reciprocating slide. No particular real strength is required to do this. When the bullet extractor is removed, the accessory coupler becomes a tamper. The bullet tamped into the powder with an empirically determined number of strokes of the dropped slide which imparts uniformity of tamping to each charge.
