What thread size does the Pro-Shot J16 16 Gauge jag use and will it fit my existing cleaning rod?

The Pro-Shot J16 features an industry-standard shotgun thread #5/16-27 male thread. It will directly screw into all standard cleaning rods with matching #5/16-27 threads, or it can be adapted to standard rifle rods using a Pro-Shot thread adaptor.

Will this 16 gauge cleaning jag work if I try to use it in a 12 gauge or 20 gauge shotgun bore?

No, the J16 is precisely machined exclusively for 16 gauge shotgun bores. It will not provide adequate patch contact in larger 12 or 10 gauge bores, and it will physically fail to pass through narrower 20 gauge, 28 gauge, or .410 bore barrels.

Does this brass jag require any special electrical certification or maintenance for use in Australian workshop conditions?

As a completely non-powered, mechanical workshop tool made from solid brass, the Pro-Shot J16 requires no electrical certifications, SAA/RCM approvals, or 240V compatibility. It is fully suited for standard Australian workshop and outdoor cleaning environments without operational constraints.

16 Gauge Cleaning Jag - Pro-Shot J16

The Pro-Shot Spear Pointed Benchrest Jag 16 Ga is a precision-machined bore cleaning accessory engineered for 16 gauge shotguns with a nominal bore diameter of approximately 16.8 mm (0.662 in). Manufactured in the USA from solid brass, this tool secures cotton flannel cleaning patches to apply solvents, clear carbon and powder fouling, and dry the barrel. Designed with standard #5/16-27 male shotgun threads, it threads directly into matching shotgun cleaning rods to provide consistent 360-degree surface contact across the bore, chamber, and choke throats without scratching firearm steel.

Key Features

Spear-Point Centring Tip: Features a sharp central point that pierces and aligns cotton flannel patches (such as 2.5-inch to 3-inch patches), preventing bunching, slipping, or jamming during the stroke.
360-Degree Bore Contact: Precision-turned brass drive rings press the cleaning patch evenly against the entire barrel circumference to lift plastic wad residue, carbon, and loose lead fouling.
Solid Brass Construction: Machined from barrel-safe brass that is softer than firearm-grade steel, eliminating the risk of bore, chamber, or choke damage.
Stamped Gauge Identification: Marked at the base with "16" for quick gauge recognition on the cleaning bench.
Industry-Standard Interface: Equipped with male #5/16-27 threads for direct mounting to standard shotgun cleaning rods.

Who is the Pro-Shot Spear Pointed Benchrest Jag 16 Ga for?

16 gauge shotgun owners: Requires direct compatibility with standard 16 gauge bores (nominal 16.8 mm diameter) and standard #5/16-27 threaded rods to clean powder fouling and apply lubricants after bird hunting or clay target shooting using this 16 gauge shotgun cleaning jag.

Less suitable for: Owners of larger shotgun bores (12 gauge or 10 gauge) where this tool will fail to maintain 360-degree contact, or narrower bores (20 gauge, 28 gauge, and .410 bore) through which it physically cannot pass; these firearms require dedicated gauge-specific cleaning jags. Additionally, barrels with heavy, baked-on plastic wad or lead buildup require a bronze phosphor bore brush prior to patch work.
