Why does the Pro-Shot Trace Eraser jag prevent the blue/green patch discolouration common with brass jags?

Traditional brass jags react chemically with aggressive ammonia-based copper solvents, turning your cleaning patches blue or green even when the bore is completely clean. The Pro-Shot 45TEJ is machined from aircraft-grade aluminium with a proprietary protective coating that is inert to these chemicals. This eliminates false copper fouling indications so you can accurately tell when your .45 calibre bore is genuinely clean.

What cleaning rods are compatible with the Pro-Shot .45 Cal Trace Eraser Jag?

The 45TEJ features a standard American #8-32 male thread interface, making it directly compatible with standard cleaning rods sold across Australia that use 8-32 female threads, such as the Pro-Shot Stainless Steel Rifle Cleaning Rods in our range. If you are using European or metric cleaning rods like Parker-Hale or Dewey, you will simply need a standard 8-32 thread adapter.

Can I use this .45 calibre jag for cleaning other barrel sizes in my kit?

No, this jag is specifically engineered for strict use in .45 calibre barrels such as .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .45-70 Govt. You must never force it into smaller bores like .44 or 9mm, as it will bind and risk jamming the patch or damaging your cleaning rod. Similarly, it will be ineffective in bores exceeding .45 cal because it will fail to exert the necessary radial pressure against the bore walls.

.45 Cal Cleaning Jag - Pro-Shot 45TEJ

The Pro-Shot .45 Cal Trace Eraser Spear Point Jag (model 45TEJ) is a calibre-specific cleaning tool engineered for .45 calibre rifles and handguns. Manufactured from machined aircraft-grade aluminium with a proprietary protective coating, it eliminates the chemical reaction between traditional brass jags and ammonia-based copper-removing solvents. This inert construction prevents false blue or green staining on patches, allowing shooters to accurately verify when bore fouling is completely removed.

Key Features

Trace Eraser Coating: Features a specialised secondary-coated aluminium body that resists harsh copper-dissolving bore cleaners, eliminating false copper indications.
Spear-Point Patch Anchor: Designed with a sharp, tapered centre point that pierces and holds cotton flannel patches securely centered to prevent bunching or slipping inside the bore.
360-Degree Bore Coverage: Utilises stepped annular rings to apply uniform radial pressure against the lands and grooves of .45 calibre barrels.
Standard Threading: Equipped with an industry-standard American #8-32 male thread for direct compatibility with standard cleaning rods.
Calibre Stamping: Marked with the calibre size on the base for quick identification in workshop or field maintenance kits.

Specifications

Calibre Compatibility: .45 Calibre (e.g., .45 ACP, .45 Colt, .45-70 Govt)
Thread Size: Standard American #8-32 male thread
Material: Machined aircraft-grade aluminium with proprietary secondary coating
Finish: Metallic / Silver
Operation: Manual mechanical bore cleaning attachment

Who is the Proshot .45 Cal Trace Eraser Jag for?

Handgun competitors shooting .45 ACP or .45 Colt — Delivers chemical-resistant bore cleaning for .45 calibre handgun barrels, ensuring that ammonia-based solvents used on cotton patches only indicate true remaining copper fouling rather than jag degradation.
Handloaders and riflemen shooting .45-70 Govt — Uses an American standard #8-32 male thread interface and stepped annular rings to exert complete radial contact inside .45 calibre rifle bores for precise fouling inspection.

Less suitable for: Firearm barrels outside .45 calibre; forcing this jag into bores smaller than .45 calibre causes patch jamming or rod binding, while using it in bores exceeding .45 calibre fails to provide adequate radial contact, requiring a smaller or larger calibre-matched cleaning jag.
