SHOTGUN JAG, 10 GAUGE

SHOTGUN JAG, 10 GAUGE

SKU: BTSG-100-10

Bore Tech’s Patented Shotgun Patch Jags set the benchmark for quick and effective shotgun cleaning and are a must have for every shotgunner.

Bore Tech Shotgun Patch Jags provide 360 degrees of concentric pressure against the barrel’s surface resulting more patch contact, better cleaning and a perfect fit every time. This is accomplished by the 4 oversized, flexible petals that compress when entering the bore, providing outward pressure which allows the patch to perfectly conform to the barrel surface. Incorporated into each of the 4 flexible petals are gripping rings which securely grab the patch preventing bunching.

Quick and effective, these jags can be used between stages or at home. Simply spike your patch and down the barrel you go. No need to worry about fixed or removable choke tubes as the Shotgun Patch Jags have the ability to compress and pass through any choke tube!

Now that’s shotgun cleaning made quick and easy.

Bore Tech Shotgun Patch Jags are available from 10 - 410 gauge and fit any standard shotgun rod with 5/16-27 threads.

Material: Nylon
Threads: 5/16 – 27
Overall Length ( Including Point ): 2.5 inches

Shotgun Jag Instructions:

  1. Screw the Bore Tech Shotgun Jag onto the cleaning rod.
  2. Spike a patch over the spear point attempting to pierce the patch near the center. (See Figure 1).
  3. Apply cleaning solvent until patch is saturated.
  4. Insert Jag into breach end of the barrel and slowly push through entire length of the barrel.
    NOTE: When resistance is encountered near the end of the barrel due to the reduced diameter of a choke, begin rotating the rod in a clockwise direction while applying a slight forward pressure. This allows you to ease the jag through the restricted choke area. (See Figure 2)
  5. Next, thoroughly brush the barrel with cleaning solvent to loosen fouling that has adhered to the barrel walls.
  6. Finally, using a clean dry patch insert the Shotgun Jag into breach end of the barrel and slowly push through entire length of the barrel. Repeat the process as necessary until patches come out clean.

Bore Tech Information

Proof Positive Benefits?

Bore Tech’s Proof-Positive feature is a major innovation in firearm cleaning, designed to eliminate false positive indications of copper fouling. Traditional cleaning jags and loops are typically made from brass, which contains copper. When using ammonia-based copper solvents, these brass components can react chemically, producing a blue or green color in the solvent. This color change often misleads shooters into believing there is still copper fouling in the bore when, in reality, the reaction is coming from the jag itself. Bore Tech’s Proof-Positive jags and loops are made from a proprietary, brass-free alloy that eliminates this problem. This means any color change in the solvent is a true indication of copper fouling in the bore, allowing for more accurate and reliable cleaning.

The Proof-Positive feature is particularly beneficial for shooters who demand precise barrel maintenance, such as competitive marksmen, hunters, and gunsmiths. By removing the interference caused by brass jags, Bore Tech ensures that users don’t waste time and solvent chasing false copper indications. Additionally, Proof-Positive jags and loops are precision-machined for a perfect patch fit, ensuring thorough bore contact and more effective cleaning. This leads to less solvent waste, reduced cleaning time, and a properly maintained barrel, which ultimately enhances firearm accuracy and longevity. For anyone serious about firearm care, Proof-Positive technology is a game-changer, providing a smarter and more efficient cleaning process.

Which Rod Size

When choosing a Bore Tech cleaning rod for your rifle, you need to consider the barrel length and action type to ensure you get the right rod length. A good rule of thumb is to select a rod that is at least 6-8 inches longer than your rifle's barrel to accommodate the action and allow for full stroke cleaning. For bolt-action rifles, measure from the chamber to the muzzle and add extra length for comfortable use. For AR-style rifles, you may need an even longer rod due to the upper receiver's design. Bore Tech rods typically come in lengths ranging from 36 inches to 50 inches, so selecting the right one depends on your rifle’s specifications.
