Cleaning jags perform a very thorough cleaning when used properly and with care.

  • Thanks for posting this, I just recently seen these jags and had no idea how to use them properly.

  • @yellowGwing You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

  • i had no idea what a jag did, now i know! thanks

  • @werdwerdus You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

  • Are you using a knurled jag? I use a smooth jag and always push it all the way through, both with my handguns and rifles. I know there is no one way to clean a firearm but I've never seen anyone recommend pulling a jag back through. Though I've never seen anyone use a knurled jag, either.

  • @wesley0a I sure am. The serrations allow for "back passes" as shown. Thanks for watching.

  • At 1:50 what is that metal thing that he inserted the cotton patch into called?

  • Sorry if this has been asked already but when cleaning a revolver would it be bad to run the jag from the end of the barrel to the bore. Which is pretty much the only way for me.

  • Thanks for the video! I was trying to figure out how jags worked. Are you using tiptons jags? Also what kind of lubrication do you use?

  • thx fer the vid...my wife bought me a full set of jags for xmas and i had no idea how to use them...lol

  • thanks. i've read text instructions about how to use jags, but this made a lot more sense!

  • good video !

    another reason to wear the gloves is if you use primers with lead in them, or naked lead bullets, that lead ends up in the barrel and the combination of solvent and lead could be surprisingly readily absorbed !

    there's no way you want to breathe the smoke plume either and imo lead free primers and solid copper bulltes are the way to go !

  • @f8talh8red Great question - I actually do run the brush and more patches after "jagging" if the bore is extremely dirty. I clean my firearms after each and every use, and find it to be a rare occasion to re-do all my steps. Thanks for watching!
