As a sidenote. Anybody have a problem with the ramrod popping off the lock when fired on the Omega?
I've tried adjusting the setscrew everywhere, and TC even sent me a new setscrew and ramrod, but it still pops off.
TC says to send the gun back, and they'd probably send me a new gun, but this one is too accurate with Thors to let go.

I seeth what you are talking about... never even knew that was there.
I can adjust mine with a 3/32" allen wrench to what ever depth i want. In fact I can screw mine in deep enough that it almost falls out. Is yours bottoming out on something?
If it is again you could go to the hardware store pick up a longer set screw and install it. Use a bit of blue lock tite or BP grease to hold it in place after you get it set to the depth you want.

If I could always remember to snap it back in after a shot it would be no problem. I'll need to work on that.

There's an adjusting screw in the lug by the breech. The rod snaps into it. If it pops out of it the rod can slide out. I dropped it in the snow a couple of times and had to go back and find it.
If I can remember, i'll snap it back in after firing the gun, but sometimes I forget.

My problem is at the range where I keep the rod in the rifle since I use a dedicated range rod. I don't take the rod out of the rifle at the range because I don't know if it would make a difference in the point of aim/impact. So, after every shot, I have to pop the rod back in.

It appears the answer is 'weight'. As an aside, the hollow CVA rod in my V2 does the same thing, however in CVA rifles there is no lock. In my CVA rifles, friction is what holds the ramrod in place or not.

The screw is fine. I can tighten it enough to lock the rod in, and it came with a compound on the threads to keep it from moving off the adjustment. It's something else causing it.

mine does the same thing when I use the solid TC rod, but I normally switch that out with a light weight rod when hunting and do not get that problem near as often...One way to reduce that problem is to reduce the load so there is no recoil then one of Newtons Laws would not a pply - you know the one about 'equal and opposite reaction'. Just so you know i am saying that with a smile on my face

You might be surprised how little maintenance a Lehigh BP needs to be problem free. I know for sure of at least 2 50 shot strings without a hiccup and the channel still had a ton of room left. I haven't had even the slightest hang fire yet without a mag primer too.
