Should be pinned to the rod for secure attachment. This solid brass tip is designed for use as a loading and cleaning tip. The end of the jag is flat to seat shotgun wads. These jags are for small diameter ramrods and cleaning rods where a tapered shank jag is not necessary for patch clearance. The jags have a spherically cupped end to allow loading a muzzleloader without removing the jag from the ramrod.
All jags have a steel threaded stud.
The brass disk has a minimum clearance in the barrel assuring the lag screw is centered over the ball and prevented from deflecting to the side and possibly damaging the barrel bore. The worm is constructed of a heavy gauge steel wire that will not break under heavy usage. The wire screw form is attached to a brass base with a steel threaded stud. The fine phosphorus bronze wire bristles reverse easily in the bore. They set into the rifling grooves better, giving the bore a thorough cleaning.
