Loop Reiniging Patch Houder JAG

What Are Jags Used For?

The most efficient application of a suitable jag is to make barrel cleaning more efficient.

The barrel can be cleaned of the grime, grit, and debris that has accumulated in the bore since the patch will fit securely on the jag.

The jag will scour the breech and rifling for a clean outcome by moving the patch into hard-to-reach parts of the barrel.

The four most important reasons to use a pistol cleaning jag are protection, inspection, unblocking, and lubrication. When you’ve completed all of these, you’ll notice that your weapon behaves and performs better, safer, and more in line with how it’s supposed to.

But even if you have a gun cleaning jag, it won’t do you any good unless you are aware of how to properly use one on your firearm. 

How To Use A Gun Cleaning Jag

Before you begin cleaning the firearm, make sure it is unloaded. Remove all ammunition from the firearm and inspect the chamber and magazine to ensure it is empty. Failure to do so may result in damage or death.

To make cleaning easier, remove the bolt or open the action. If feasible, clean the handgun from the breech to avoid harming the muzzle rifling. Attach the cleaning rod to the appropriate-sized jag for the caliber of the handgun or rifle. Saturate a cleaning patch with the cleaning solvent by opening the lid to the cleaning solution.

When the solvent-soaked patch has passed through the muzzle, remove it from the jag. Allow the solvent to dwell in the barrel for several minutes to loosen the fouling and begin removing it. To remove the fouling, remove the jag and run a solvent-soaked bore brush down the barrel several times.
