The RAM-T Rod is telescopic and provides additional length for loading or cleaning. Simply unlock with a quarter turn, extend, and then lock into place. A t-handle conveniently flips out for a more comfortable experience. When you are ready to put the rod back into the storage position, it easily retracts back into its body and stores in the thimbles. This improved design allows for a lighter rod and ability for a quicker follow up shot in the field. The RAM-T Rod is patent-pending and made of anodized aluminum, keeping the rod lightweight. It comes with a 10/32 brass loading tip and can be used for 45 or 50 caliber muzzleloaders. Always be sure to measure your current ramrod or check to make sure this ramrod will fit your firearm.Features26" model is 22.5" length when closed and is designed for NitroFire and Pursuit models28" model is 24.5" length when closed and is designed for Vortex StrikerFire modelsT-Handle flips out for easy loadingBrass loading tip is thr...
