Traditions 45 Caliber Black Powder Cleaning Jag - Brass, 10x32 Thread
Keeping your black powder rifle clean and functioning properly means having the right tools for the job. The Traditions 45 caliber black powder cleaning jag is a brass jag sized for .45 caliber barrels, threaded to fit standard 10x32 cleaning rod connections. If you're running a traditional muzzleloader or inline rifle in .45, this jag lets you attach patches and solvents directly to your cleaning rod for bore scrubbing between range sessions and after hunts.
Brass construction won't damage your bore the way steel or iron can, and the snug fit with your cleaning rod means patches stay centered as you work. Black powder shooting leaves more residue than modern cartridges—fouling builds up fast—so efficient, direct cleaning keeps accuracy consistent and prevents rust. This is the kind of straightforward, purpose-built accessory that belongs in any black powder shooter's cleaning kit.
Whether you're prepping for a muzzleloader season or maintaining a rifle between outings, a quality jag that matches your bore diameter and threads makes the whole process faster and more effective. The Traditions jag is built to standard specifications so it'll work with your existing cleaning rod.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this jag work with my .45 caliber muzzleloader?
Yes — this jag is sized for .45 caliber rifles and comes with a 10x32 thread, which is the standard for black powder cleaning rods. Make sure your cleaning rod uses 10x32 threads to ensure a secure fit.
What's the advantage of brass over steel for a cleaning jag?
Brass is softer than steel and won't scratch or score the inside of your barrel if it makes contact. This protects your bore and helps maintain accuracy over time.
Do I need to buy a cleaning rod separately?
This is a jag only — you'll need a cleaning rod with 10x32 threads to use it. Most black powder cleaning rod kits include compatible jags and patches.
