What is the purpose of a jag in a gun cleaning kit and how is it used?

Jags, whether brass, plastic or other material are a slightly under caliber sized tool that is ridged to hold a patch. The patch is placed over the jag (most have a small point that you can puncture the patch with) and inserted in the bore. As the patch over the jag is almost exactly the size of the bore it makes better contactwith the lands and grooves. It will quickly and efficently remove fouling and grime. A fitted jag reduces the number of trips a patch must take down the bore and it reduces the amount of time scrubbing with a bore brush. This will help extend the life of your arm.
