Bore Tech innovative proof-positive rifle patch jags eliminate the annoying false indication of copper fouling that is common with all traditional brass jags when using copper removing cleaners. All proof-positive rifle patch jags feature a proprietary alloy and secondary treatment process, making them 100% brass free and 100% barrel safe. This alloy is as soft as brass but boasts an exceptional tensile strength to prevent bending and snapping under the force of a tight patch. Traditional brass patch jags are over 60% copper in their composition. When using effective copper removing cleaners this results in a Blue copper fouling color on your patches when no copper is present in the bore. By eliminating brass accessories, shooters can effectively determine when a rifle bore is truly copper free and reduce wasted patches, chemical and time.
