I am looking to make a customized shooter plunger, and I think I could get a 3-D printing shop to make up whatever I could dream up for the knob, but I still would need the rod to go with it. It would seem that others have thought about this and thus someone makes a plunger with some standard machine screw on the end such that all someone would need to do is make the knob have the screw insert and then just screw the pieces together. Thanks in advance.

Allied leisure did have a threaded end on the rod for a knob, but parts for those games aren't readily available.

You could drill and tap for a female end or run a die over it for a large male end

We do. That's how our shooter rods are made but they aren't available for separate purchase at the moment. They will be in the future so if you wanted a quantity we might be able to help. The shaft is stainless steel.

I guess that's an easy option if the tip gets mushroomed out and you can't pull it out of the game.

So you are teasing me with the fact that this item exists, but that I cannot buy just 1.

The stern ones are like this, the aftermarket ghostbusters shooter rod is a threaded end.
