Thanks for all the suggestions. Yeah 52, it pulled out when I was swabbing between shots. Had to take the gun apart to be able to push it out right in the middle of sighting my gun in. What a waste of time.
Gorilla glue or 2 part epoxy would probably be a darn near permanent fix. And I do have ferrl tite, done alot of arrows in my days. That will probably work as well, but it seems that is what it may have been held in there with to begin with. It was certainly some sort of clear glue it appears. I was thinking that I may cut it down and pick up a spin jag to put on the end. Would make a nice loading rod, and if I add my T-handle starter I could swab with it no problem.
I do have one easton carboncore ramrod, its in my son's gun. They are pretty nice, especially with the extension part. Having a jag on the end of your rod that you can actually swab with in the field if needed (without adding anything else to the rod) is pretty sweet.
I don't have a good range rod, I guess that's something I should invest in. Shoulda picked up a Knight Ultimate when I had the chance. Not sure why they quit making them. I didn't know they were phasing them out this past summer till it was too late
They still have the all aluminum ones, and those aren't too salty. Not sure if they are any good.
I've been thinking about possibly getting one of those spin-jag gi ramrods, extra long just to use as a dedicated range rod. Anyone have one?If so, how do you like it? I've heard they are pretty nice and quite strong.
Thanks folks...appreciate the input. :yeah:
