O-RING CLEANING JAGS Reviews & Ratings

Okay, I bought a TCS O-Ring cleaning jag for .38/.357 several years ago. At first I didn't like it and left it in my box of cleaning bits and pieces for a long time. I ran into a really dirty and leaded up S&W M52 semi-auto pistol and I was almost ready to give up and haul out my Lewis Lead Remover when my eyes laid on the TCS O-ring cleaning jag. I thought what the heck and hauled it out of the box and gave it a go on my one piece Brownell's cleaning rod. It was really tough getting it thru the bore because of all the fouling in it including lead deposits. I was shocked at how much junk came out of that barrel. Carbon, lead and almost a kitchen sink, but the TCS jag came thru. Now I won't say it was a one pass deal. The barrel was just too crudded up for that, but the jag got the majority of the junk out and then I switched to a Tuff-Brush and worked the barrel and switched back to the TCS jag. I put some Nitro Solvent on a patch and pushed it thru the barrel and let it sit overnight and the next day hit the barrel again with the TCS jag and wet patches and it was absolutely clean! I was amazed at this product. Be advised it can be tough going with a TCS jag going thru a really dirty barrel and I needed serious pressure on the cleaning rod, but it worked and worked very well. Since then I have purchased a bunch of these TCS O-ring jags for other calibers and they all work well. Just be careful with the smaller calibers and don't allow the patch to get jammed between the bottom of the jag and barrel. I wish I had figured out how to use my original TCS jag when I first bought it, it would have saved me a lot of cleaning time. Rick H.

This O-ring jag is the best for shotguns. Wet a patch place it at the muzzle and push it down the barrel!!

I just got this as I wanted something with a tighter fit to a backbored 12ga sporting clays gun. This works with the thicker patches in the larger bore 12ga gun. I do not know how I got along so long without it!

I tried this as I needed a .401 jag. I REALLY like it. Will be ordering other calibers. Stays straight in the bore, puts a lot of patch onto the bore and works easy. Sturdy - hope the o rings hold up but shouldn't be too hard to get replacements.

Bought for use with my T/C renegade flintlock. Thought the barrel was clean until I used this, and I recomend it over any other cleaning jag I have ever used. One thing though - the package recommends use of a t handle on your ram/cleaning rod. Take this a gospel and not just a recommendation when using on closed breach black powder guns, especial when using heavy, aggressive cleaning patches.

I have looked at these before but figured they were just another snake oil gimmic and passed them by. I shoot lead in .45acp. Tryed the 44 mag size for my .45 and it was the perfect size. I use J-B Bore cleaner and J-B Bore Bright. These should be packaged with them. They work much better than my brass jag. I still use my .50 caliber brass brush combined with them. For solvent I use Shooters Choice MC#7 and if I have more trouble I use the Lewis Lead remover. The nice thing is you can reverse your stroke in the barrel as fast as you want which is what realy cleans a barrel quick. Used with the above I have never had a barrel cleaner with less effort. Haven't had a problem and worth the entry price.

Used this with my shotgun cleaning rod with just one, 2 1/2 inch diameter round patch at a time with the cleaner/degreaser spray by KG. When clean, I used 1 patch several times over to put Kroil inside the barrel. Cleaned the choke tube with just a couple of the patches and cleaning spray, then added oil. The round patch works better than a square patch. It's a round jag so the round patch matches best.

O my God, this is the best cleaning tool I have ever used, my shooting partner just gave me a demo with his 12ga jag, we cleaned 4 of my shot gun barrels in less than 20 minutes, I have never seen lead and plastic come out on a patch before. I shoot a lot of skeet loads and slugs and the plastic builds up and a brush will not get it out but this jag and JB bore cleaner got it right out. this jag is going to same a lot of money on brushes!!! I now own a full set, finaly got the copper out of my 7mm, have you ever seen copper on a cleaning patch? I have!!!!

I will never use another jag again after using the o-ring type. It really gets that patch snug against the bore for a thorough cleaning. After I saw how good this product was, I bought one each for my .380, .45 ACP & 10mm handguns and they all perform to the same great standard.

Previously I used an alumimum jag but had problems pushing the patch through tighter chokes. The O rings apply sufficient pressure at the chamber but compress to allow passage through tighter chokes. Great design!!
