Cannon barrel worm
« on: May 30, 2012, 09:02:06 AM »
Where can one purchase a 70 cal. barrel worm? ??? ? I have located a lot of 50 cal. worms but nothing as large as a 70 cal. I intend to start using aluminum foil powder packets. Cant make one, 2nd wife sold all the tools.

Is the actual bore size 70 caliber?  If you're interested in ordering one I would need to know the bore diameter.  A worm head for that diameter bore would cost $25 plus $6 shipping.  It is double helix and you would need a 1/2" oak dowel for the handle.  A roll pin is supplied for attaching the worm to the handle.  Thanks,  Dom

 dynomike1x1,

 For the price you might want to look at one of these.

Repro Musket worms should be available in mank sizes up to 75 cal. at far lower prices than custom made...   like the previous poster, I would look to Dixie Gun Works, Track of the Wolf, or other commercial outlets.  It might take some digging but would be worth it for the huge cost savings.
