    great video. thank you. I've been cleaning some older rifles lately that have been unused for quite some time by the previous owner and have come to like the Jag more than the patch holder.. I've found it's much easier to push the junk out of the barrel, than to use the patch holder. the jag gets the majority of the junk with it, plus it's more uniform to the barrel, as opposed to a patch holder that only has the patch on the majority of 2 sides. .

    You don't fold the patch corner to corner making a triangle. Flat on top. Push one corner through the fold the patch over the top ? Gets all of bore. I use that for field care and mostly just light oil patch. At home that's the soaker method. Then brush and jag.

Also, I use a nylon bore brush with solvent for most cleans and occasionally use a phosphor bronze brush for a deeper bore clean maybe every 6 range visits.

    I do this as well but given how hard the steel in gun barrels is compared to the tools we use to clean them I struggle to understand how pulling it back through could cause harm. I think the most logical explanation is you could be dragging crud back through the barrel whereas pushing all the way through ensures the stuff you just wiped out stays out.

    Joe Guzman, steel rods are risky. Too easy to scratch the rifling. Always use a coated rod or one made of softer metal than your barrel is made from. Coated rods are good, but be aware that the coating may pick up metallic fouling if you don't wipe it down before each pass through the barrel.

    The rod didn't pick up rifling marks. The rod end follows the rifling and if the rod touches the inner edge of the muzzle or chamber end it will leave marks on the rod. In other words the rod needs to go in perfectly straight in order to avoid marks on the rod, which is damn near impossible. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say, it's easier to show.
