Seriously - your Membership on the forum is automatically updated (and was in 1.62 seconds, according to my server logs ) and before I left for work this AM, sent you an e-mail "Thank You" note and posted your Membership in this thread...

Jay - thank you... While I have nothing at all to do with Memberships (I only programmed the on-line membership systems in my code/systems/servers/software, maintain the on-line Memberships, use my PayPal to accumulate Membership dues, send out "Thank You" notes and finally - assist folks in that process) - know how much your support is appreciated...

Thanks, Jay!

Whoo-whoo!

I was an annual member for about 8 years or so after the PGCA was formed and when it was announced that the life membership was going up from $250 to $500, bit the bullet and became a lifer. Money well spent and I don't have to think about it any more.

Thanks for spearheading and streamlining this membership thing, John.

You might want to call Tony and ask directly.. He's "good people"...

Took the plunge, ordered the 20/28 rod and accessories for my 16 qne 28. Got the accessories but the rod...is on back order for "at least a month." So I ask whether the 12/16 rod will work in a 28 ga..."oh, no. Maybe the 20 but not a 28 ga." So I now have $90 worth of accessories but no idea when I'll have a rod that fits them.

Damn.

Jay,

A 12/16 cleaning rod may indeed be too large in diameter for the bore of a 28 gauge. accessories threads should however fit any shotgun cleaning rod. I believe teh threads are 5/16". Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I have the Galazan wooden rods and they are great. I also have a plastic coated Dewey rod which I received from Brownells. I also like that rod very much.
