Does anybody make a decent short starter any more? I like the kind that Pete Allen used to make maybe still does? I'm looking for a .54 and a .50.

Rich,
Don't know if you found what you need but I have a couple that I made out of stainless rod and drilled and tapped for 10:32 jags. Ball handle, muzzle guard and it's done. Pretty simple and usable for any caliber.

I found what I need actually I should have said ball starter. I was looking for the piece bout 2 1/2 to 3 inches long with the cupped end that you would use to whack with a hammer to start the ball into the rifling then cut the patch and push down with the short starter. Maybe this will clear up what I was asking about? Thanks anyway!
