omega z5 ramrod
Has anyone broke their ramrod on thier omega? I did not break the ramrod but one of the threaded fittings that screws into the end. I am thinking of getting an XS sights ramrod and wanted to know if anyine here has used one.

RE: omega z5 ramrod
turkeystalker,
I have a XS sights ramrod for my encore and I would never trade it. Nice and sturdy the folding T handle on the end is nice and the ready made load lines make it easy to see if you have seated the bullet. Mine is a one piece, but I have seen on their website that they are making them sectional now as well,I hope that helps... I got mine from a local gunshop for 19.95 money well spent.. just mytwo cents
oops Ishould mentiondont forget to measure your old ramrod as XS rods come in many different lengths

RE: omega z5 ramrod
It looks identical to the one that came on my Encore but I have not used it yet so I can't say how good my Omega's ramrod is. I have had my Encore for years and nothing has gone wrong with that rod so I don't think the Omega's standard rod will screw up unless the operator makes some kind of mistake.
