Range rods.
      #137058 - 10/06/09 05:51 AM

Hi,



Those are my home made range rods and crown protectors.
I think the red one is fiberglass but Im not shure, It was made from a Gallagher stick (from New Zeland?). I never use the wood rod that came with my Kodiak, I have it with the rifle just in case I loose or forget the range rod.
I have read last night the "Bevel Brothers" column and they say that fiberglass rods are not that bad. In any case I always use the protectors on my rods.
My .50 underhammer have no way to fix the rod so I use exclusivelly its range rod.

Any oppinion?

Thanks
Martin

Looks good, but I'd prefer to have smooth sided brass instead of steel for the protector.

Daryl,
Both protectors are made of brass.
As I have no machinery, I made them using existing brass conections, thats why you can see threads on one of them.
Thanks
Martin
