Neither of my new-to-me TCs came with ram rods (no complaints, got awesome deal via a buddy for them)
Have acquired two of the "universal" fiber glass rods from CVA that are cut-to-length and of the proper diameter to go in the hangers and into the stock channel.
Of course, before cutting, I want to put on a loading/cleaning jag, etc. so that the length comes out correct.
Dumb Question #1 - I see short stubby "regular" type jags, and I see 3 and 4" long ones, and occasionally even longer.
Any reason for these? Just a good way to make a rod that is a inch or two too short into the correct length?
Dumb Question #2 - When I cut the rods, the instructions recommend a bit of epoxy or nail polish to prevent fraying - any reason to do something else? Any particular (epoxy/glue) product better than whatever nail polish I'm likely to steal from my daughter?
