Galazan cleaning rod question...
 

Just checked out Tony's cleaning rods. Of course there are three sizes (12/16 and 20/28). Is there any real reason to buy two rods or will the 20/28 work for a 16 ga?

Thanks,

JDG

Any size that will fit down the bore will work. The threads are all the same.

Richard, of course - is right... If you get the accessories that fit to the threaded end - like the cleaning mops, they are gauge specific (except, I think the 16-20 Gauge which should work with either???)..

As well -- I have three Galazan rosewood rods that are accessories that I keep in the hard cases. They are well made and look "vintage".

Hope this helps!

Hey Jay, you've been here a long time. Join the PGCA.

I thought I was but perhaps my membership has expired. If so I'll renew immediately.

Does anyone know if the larger rod (12/16) will fit through the barrels of a 28?

Thanks!

Hi Jay!

Actually - if they are the same rods I have, they will fit through a 28 GA BBL. I'm just wondering out loud here - BUT - I wonder if the 20/28 rods are a slightly smaller diameter to protect the bore a bit from the brass fittings?? Just a guess - and not really sure?? You might want to call Tony and ask directly.. He's "good people"...

Galazan has some nice cleaning rods, but another thing you may want to consider is the cost of replacement mops and brushes. The Galazan cleaning rod fittings have a different thread size than most others, so a replacement mop or brush costs $16 each plus shipping from Galazan compared to others such as a KleenBore mop or brush at less than $3 each.

Hey Jay, If there is any way I can help you with your membership maybe a loan or whatever I would love to have you owe me, Just say the word. Its nice we have people watching out for you.:whistle:
