First question, what threads were used on the ramrods of original Mississippi rifles? The Euroarms reproduction uses M6 x 1 threads which obviously don't fit any original implements.
Second, does anyone make authentic reproductions of Mississippi rifle implements? Track of the Wolf has what they call M1817 wipers and ball pullers (https://www.trackofthewolf.com/List/Item.aspx/121/1) in various standard thread counts but their website is the only place I can find this nomenclature. The wiper looks very similar to one pictured in this thread (https://civilwartalk.com/threads/my-m1841-whitneyville-mississippi-rifle.146009/) but the ball puller looks different. If these are correct I'd have to rethread my ramrod to fit.
The Horse Soldier lists a .54 cal. wiper (https://www.horsesoldier.com/products/firearms/cartridges-and-gun-tools/17291) that they say is for the Mississippi rifle -- it's basically the same style as the early elongated .69 cal. wiper, just smaller. The style certainly looks correct for the 1840s but again, I haven't found much information online.
Any information on locating original or good reproduction implements that are correct for the Mississippi rifle would be much appreciated!
