i purchased a tipton 22 cal 36 inch rod last oct. and was cleaning my new savage 22-250 pred model the other day and i guess as i pushed my jag through the barrel it came loose and the brass insert on the rod broke and folded back maring my brrel from about half way down to the crown which isnt no big deal nothing a little jb didnt work out, but i got on there web sight and looked for a number, and the only way to contact them is by email. so i have. in the past 2 weeks i have sent 5 different emails and there web sight has confirmed they have got them, but i am still waiting on a response. has anyone else had this probleme with them? or with the rods?
