I don't recall the persons name, but he was producing a polymer jag referred to as a Bore Rider jag.
Would it be too much hassle to clean up the jag and sorta wax it like a car? so get some decent seal on it?
ebb,
You are correct. Its just a piece of garden hose to keep the jag from exiting the crown.
It'd be deuced hard, if not impossible, to replicate a Parker-Hale style in a home machine shop.I make my own jags out of 7075-T6 rod.
So Joe, do you withdraw the patch out through the breech then?
I push everything one direction only (out the muzzle) and I want the patch to exit the muzzle (one time) and fall off the jag. The only time I would want to prevent a patch exiting the muzzle would be if I was lapping a bore (which I haven't done). Even when I use a brush I push it out the muzzle, unscrew the brush, withdraw the bare rod, reattach the brush, repeat.

Good to know, and for only $10k to $18k, used. I learned something, thanks.It's not hard to do on a Hardinge HLV-H.

Those jags are brass. Their nylon ones are here: http://www.gunslick.com/products/accessories/cleaningtips/nylonjag.aspx
Anyone know how much smaller the Parker hale jags are to the bore size?Hi Guys,
I'm resurrecting this thread because I asked Charliemac if he would make me a couple of the jags and he did. Well, I've been using them for about 3 weeks and they are everything I had hoped it for an more.
Now when I clean my rifle I don't have to wonder how much of the blue copper stain is from the jag and how much is from the copper in the barrel. The answer is simple: all of it is from the copper in the barrel. I highly recommend them.
Kindest regards,
Joe

My .30 cal jag is about .248. It's a bit hard to measure because it's "spikey".Anyone know how much smaller the Parker hale jags are to the bore size?

One possible substitute for a P-H jag is a smaller diameter cleaning brush, whatever material is appropriate.

Thanks that is what I need.6mm = .199
7mm = .225
30 cal= .248
I use the 6mm jag for my 6.5mm
