Looking for a picture of the ram rod entry pipe on a percussion gun made about 1841. The stock has a piece missing at the end of the front of the stock and I am not sure if there was a metal holder or it was just wood. Any insite appreciated. Pic to dwtbeske@hotmail.com
Thanks,

There was a Boss muzzle loader for sale at http://www.gun-vault.com/

The Bruce Springsteen commorative edition I believe!!

Thanks for the info Joe, gives me some help, too bad no pic of the endpiece.

Call him he might help you out.

Just got back from a long trip to DT's shop. Will try to get a photo tomorrow.

I have a Joseph Manton from the 1830's, and a Henry Egg 1850's. Both have a metal end piece. I do have a picture of the fore end and fitting on the Henry Egg. (No idea how to post it, but I think I could e-mail it to you.) As I remember, the basic set up is similar to the Pedersoli reproduction, which might make a reasonable pattern starting point. I'm not home so I can't check on this right now. Pedersoli parts can be purchased from flintlocksetc.com.

You might also find useful photos on the "Roosevelt and Drake" site.

there should be a metal entry pipe with a final that comes back .where the RR enters the stock
I have never seen a muzzleloading SXS without one

Thanks for the pics etc. So far Track of the Wolf has end pieces, another site listed some by a Cash but no pics. Will check on the flintlock site. I think they mostly had them but saw a pic of nice Brit gun without piece. Maybe it was missing.
Anyway will do a little more investigating.

Sorry I am late on this photo. This is off a Boss percussion
