TCS O-RING CLEANING JAGS - TCS .50 CAL. BP CLEANING JAG

I had purchased this product expecting that the "tight fit" within the barrel of a CZ 75 SP-01 (9mm) would produce better results in barrel cleaning. The jag became jammed immediately upon insertion within the breech of the barrel and it was a devil of a time to pull the jag out. I am not sure as to whether the difficulties lie with respect to the fact that the CZ barrel is "cold hammered forged" instead of traditionally cut rifling, or whether the jag is manufactured too wide for effective insertion into the barrel with cleaning clothe. I purchased other jags for use in my S&W .357 revolver, 12 and 20 gauge shootguns, and .30 caliber rifle; but I have not attempted to use same. Will report my experience when thesed other jags are used. In the interim, I will continue to use the traditional jags for cleaning my 9mm handgun.

these are great. I've never been quite satisfied with other available jags- too tight too loose break easily ( the plastic ones) etc. These are sturdy, and like the other 2 reviews - stay straight in the bore, give good patch coverage, don't break. Worth the price. I'm ordering a second in 40/41 and 2 for 357, 1 for 30, 12 ga, 20g. . They are easy on the bore and not critical as to what kind of patch used, don't punch thru the patches either. I do a lot of recreational range shooting. practice for hunting and like to keep my arms clean.

I have used these cleaning jags for a couple of years. I have them in all of the gauges, and they are outstanding. Your barrel will shine like a mirror after you insert a patch with one of these. Excellent product, works just like you would want.

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.

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.

This is probably the best jag out there, it just cleans the bore more thoroughly than any other. However, they are delicate. Do not let your action close on the jag while doing a quick cleaning, or hit the jag against the reciever. I've bent two so far, one while doing a quick clean of a Mini-14, the other a 10/22. Both of these rifles have no way to clean from the breech, besides a pull through, and both require a full field strip to remove the bolt. Also, they should put a point on the end to 'spear' the patch to prevent it from falling off while cleaning. This happens quite a bit if your rifle has a flash hider or muzzle brake.

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.

Combine these with the heavy duty cotton flanner patches for best results!

This is the fourth of these jags that I've bought. They really do work. I just wish they have a point on the end to puncture the patch and hold it in place. Other than that, they do seem to scrub out more fouling.

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.

I got one of these in 12 and 20 gauge. This is the best way to really clean a shotgun barrel I've ever found, especially if you shoot slugs and 00 buck shot. The fit is perfect with GI spec 30 cal patches. They keep pushing lead out, long after the barrel "looks" clean. I wish they had these in .410.

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!!

I just finished cleaning my 11-87 and I have to say it really works as described. It made the whole cleaning process much easier. I was tired of the slotted jag routine and decided to give this a try. Glad I did. I'll be ordering more of them.

I purchased this product after reading article on MAX-MUZZLELOADING web site. This is the best jag i have ever used, just thought i was doing a good job until i used this after doing my normal cleaning. I will be ordering some more of these differnt calibers in the near future.

called TCS to ask about how it worked and they gave me a great run down, very easy to use! Ordered 1 to try 22 cal. and some of the JB Bore cleaner that they told me would work great with the patch, and ordered from them the US Bore paste to try as well Used the jag and the JB and a patch, No brush. WOW I have never ever seen copper come out of my barrel this fast! works great, also use them to oil my barrel and remove the oil before I shoot. great product. used it to clean 9 of my rifle barrels in less than 25 minutes. They have never been so clean!

This is the best bore cleaning tool I have ever used! It's Fast, very fast and has done a better job on my bore than all of the other cleaning products I own and I have tried everything. used JB bore cleaner, regular hoppe,s solvent and oil and my barrel is clean now down to the metal. Also works great to get the oil out before is shoot it after a cleaning.

You have to try this cleaning jag, by fare the best bore cleaning jag I have ever used and I have been cleaning guns for over 35 years, got the copper out in just minutes, I used it with US products bore past and it work so fast I could not believe it. normal cleaning time to get the copper out of my barrel is about 1 hour, with this jag it took less than 5 minute!

brought my gun into a gunshop in the town I live in because I could not clean the copper out of my bore and the gunsmith pull this thing out on a rod and cleaned the copper out in like 5-10 minutes, I had worked on the barrel for days trying to get theat copper out. found out he invented the thing. Great product bought a set of them.

Upon receiving the jag, I pulled a "clean" shotgun out of the safe, wet a patch and ran it through. The advertising literature that comes with the jag states "the proof is in the patch". This is the truth, the patch from my clean bore came out pretty dirty. I've purchase one of these for every caliber I shoot.

I own a company that helps our customers achieve maximum accuracy from their modern muzzleloaders. A rifle being clean is one of the most important factors in getting pin-point accuracy and reliblity from a muzzleloader. This jag not only cleans better, it cleans quicker, with less cleaning solvent and fewer patches. It also makes the thickness of the patch less critical. You can tell by looking at a dirty patch that you have two pressure points of contact between the barrel and patch. Also by design, the rubber o-rings push the patch into the lands and grooves for a deeper cleaning than I've ever seen before. When used in conjunction with the Lewis Lead Remover, your muzzleloader will be cleaner than ever before, and more accurate. This jag is now recommended to all MAX customers. Thanks for another great product.

This thing works great. Has cut my cleaning time down significantly. Gets bore clean in far fewer passes than using conventional jag or loop.

This is the easiest and most effective jag I have ever used, just find the best patch thickness for each bore diameter and it works. good for both smooth or rifled bores. very effective and a real time saver! Works best with Brownells bore past or US bore past. This jag also lasts for ever!

have also used this on 50 BMG with the correct patch.

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.

Great product. Small enough to fit through even the tightest chokes (tight, but it fits), but the o-rings expand enough to keep it snug all the way from the chamber to the muzzle. It amazes me it has taken so long for someone to come up with such a great idea. Highly recommended for anyone who cleans a lot of firearms.
