Question: Recently purchased a 1863 dated Colt Special Model 1861 that came today. What is the proper way to remove the ram rod? I'm guessing it has not been out in a very, very long time. The books tell me it is held with a spring spoon as there is no swell in the rod. Is there a spot where your hand puts pressure to release before pulling? Thanks in advance.
