.22 cal cleaning jag by TCS

I purchased several of these TCS cleaning jags in several different calibers. They all work quite well except for the .22 cal jag. The "shank" on this jag is so short that you cannot put a standard .22 caliber patch on it and run it through a barrel. In order to make it work for me I have to cut a standard size .22 caliber cleaning patch down to about 2/3's it's normal size. Once cut down the patch will not interfere with the base of the jag and will pass through the barrel. This is not to say it isn't a very nice product, because it does work, but it would be much better if the stem on the jag would be longer. Thanks, Rick H.

Works but O-rings are easy to loose

I have these in 9mm, 10mm, and 45. The 9 and 10 mm have worked flawlessly. I have lost O-rings on the 45 and find they are very hard to replace. The Orings I can find that fit are smaller in cross section and don't fit as tightly. For all of these, its a bit strange on the back stroke. If you take the patch off the rod after a single pass, the orings drag on the way out -- and thus the lost 45 rings... You will also find that only the portion of the patch trapped between the oring and the bore does any cleaning, and the pistol jags have only two (not 3) o-rings. More effective than stuffing a patch through the eye of a conventional jag.

A great solution to an old problem

I've tried these jags in several calibers, and they work very well. They cause a tight fit between the patch and the bore. Sometimes, on the first or second pass, they won't hold the patch when you reverse direction. Not a big problem; just push the patch out the other direction. Once the initial crud is out of the barrel, the patch stays on just fine. I now have one for every caliber I shoot.
