Pro-Shot 410 Gauge Shotgun Jag, WHITE

Excellent Quality and Construction. Made in the U.S.A.

At first glance it appears the jag is to small for a 12 gauge bore. There is a lot of room in the barrel around the jag making it appear to be a better fit for a 16 gauge than a 12 gauge. This perception is false. Draping a 3" patch over the jag results in a lot of slack inside the barrel. Used this way the jag is loose as a goose. You can not just drape the patch over the jag if you want it to work well. The problem of extra play is based solely on how you place the patch on the jag. Do NOT drape a single layer patch over the jag and expect a tight fit. That will NOT happen. People applying the patch incorrectly has resulted in reviews that improperly claim the 12 gauge jag is undersized. It is the correct size when the patch is folded prior to use.The patch has to be folded in half then folded in half again. This results is a nice tight and yes, thicker square patch about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". When this twice folded patch is pushed through the bore on the jag the result is a tight bore fit. By folding the patch into a smaller square the patch becomes thicker which fills the bore as expected. The end result is a tight fit. The patch holds onto the jag forward and backwards in the barrel.The downside of using a jag after having already cleaned your barrel with a normal loop and patch is the jag removes a lot more dirt from the barrel. The barrel you thought was clean before using a jag will be proven to still be dirty after using the jag as a follow up cleaning tool. You may need to use more patches but you will end up with a truly clean barrel.I recommend getting one of these as the price is fair, it is USA made (a HUGE plus), and it cleans much better than a loop ever will.This part is for a shotgun. It does require a shotgun rod or an adapter to use the normal size cleaning rods. If you do not have an adapter or a shotgun rod with the larger thread buy one when you get this."Pro Shot shotgun jags have a No. 5/16-27 thread, and can be used on a rifle rod with a shotgun adapter"To use this jag on a smaller rifle cleaning rod you will need something like this:https://www.amazon.com/Breakthrough-Clean-Technologies-Shotgun-Adapter/dp/B074N91Z3Q/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=shotgun+adapter&qid=1574456551&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-3or you can buy a purpose made shotgun rod like this:https://www.amazon.com/Shotgun-Cleaning-Universal-Standard-Thrreads/dp/B06XPLGL5K/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=shotgun+adapter&qid=1574456551&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-11The only possible downside is this jag being made of brass may react to your cleaner resulting in a false positive for copper fouling. The proper paint being applied would protect the brass from being affected by cleaning solvents. Brass being stronger than plastic makes this a great choice.P.S. If you have a full choke shotgun I do not know how this will fit.

The 25cal/6.5mm works great with my 6.5 creedmoor with 1.5” circular flannel patches. Higher quality aluminum jag then I expected from Amazon’s pic.

Over the years, I have bought different brands of cleaning jags. These Pro-Shot Jags with the "SPEAR Tip" are always the ones that I reach for -- the Spear Tip makes it easier for me to impale the cleaning Patch onto the jag, & it has a better chance of NOT falling off before I can get it where I want it.BTW -- I also use Pro-Shot PATCHES, & they work well, too. I find that they are a little thinner than Butch's Patches, & sometimes that is what is needed to fit the bore precisely. I like to fit the patch very tightly to the bore, & I'll usually start out using a few Pro-Shot patches. After some of the fouling has been removed, I find that the thicker Butch's patches will then usually go in, providing a VERY tight fit.

Purchased after reading about the value of a JAG. The price is right and it is a key element of my gun cleaning routine after shooting. Patches and a brush go only so far in cleaning the barrels of my shotgun. The Jag (I typically need two patches to get a tight fit in the barrel) does a fantastic job of removing additional residue. I am frequently surprised by the amount of lead fouling that is swept out with the JAG that was not removed by scrubbing with a bronze brush. It is also useful after I remove the chokes for cleaning behind the chokes (a focus area after cleaning the barrels with the chokes in) as it holds a patch well enough to swab in both directions.

Bought this to use with my rip cord style cleaning cable. Ran a Bore Snake thru 5 times, then put a patch on this jag. Wow! Cleaned up a lot more grime.Gave 4 stars because of inconvenience - each patch change requires unscrewing the jag to set the new patch, not as convenient. But the clean barre lis worth the extra inconvenience.

This jag is almost there. Of the three critical components of a jag, it gets one right and two almost.1. The ribs are great, although they could stand to be longer like some of the Dewey jags but they do work well here.2. The tip here is needed to puncture the patch and allow the threads to join to the cleaning rod. I would have suggested a longer and more thinly tapered tip that would more easily do the job because this tip is not sharp enough to puncture most patches.3. The threads here are extremely short, about half what most other brands are. While they do work, I think were the tip longer and thinner, you could get away with another full revolution to fully secure the jag to the rod. Do you really want to fish or pound this thing out of your Colt M4's barrel? I know I don't.I commonly use this in conjunction with an Otis cleaning cable and actually prefer this to the patch loop the Otis kit comes with.

It was very good in the cleaning of the Bullpup 12 ga shotgun. I had to buy an adapter for it to my old cleaning rod with smaller standard threads. It came in handy for another specialty (my term acknowledgement). Worked like a charm for me.

I had some difficulties finding the right tool for cleaning up my 12ga, and this is the best tool so far. I need to use two cotton pieces instead of one like with other jags, but it’s all good.

I much prefer this Pro-Shot jag to the usual type of plastic or brass jag which have a slot to attach a piece of rag. I use this Pro-Shot jag with the round pads used to remove face and eye make up. They are cheap as chips for a pack of 100 and work really well at cleaning and polishing your shotgun barrels. The spike on the Pro-Shot jag secures the pad in place and the grooves stop the pad from coming off the jag inside the barrel. So, you can draw it back and forwards inside the shotgun barrels. As long as you don't push the jag out of the end of the barrel the pad stays put. Perfect results every time.

Made of brass so it won't scratch barrel

Its well made, fits the cleaning rod perfectly and works great with patches to clean the barrel and its cheaper than Brownhills.

Works very well
