Ramrod parts?

[fyrffytr1]

Going through my old finds and came across these two pieces. I am pretty sure the ribbed brass barrel is a ram rod guide. Is the other thicker brass piece the tip to a ram rod. It fits snugly inside the barrel but moves in and out freely.

The one is a ramrod pipe, my guess is from a Northwest trade gun. The other is not a ramrod tip, not with an open end. Looks like a piece of flared copper tubing.

Agreed.

Good ID.

Thanks for the replies and the information. While the one piece may very well be a flared pipe I can see no marks on it to show it was compressed onto a fitting. I am familiar with flare fittings having worked on cars for about 50 years and the flare on this piece just doesn't look like any I have seen before.
