Wrapping a patch on an SKS jag?

[Knuckles Muldoon]

Can i get some advice on using the sks jag! Maybe some pics if possible even a video. i just cant seem to figure out the secret fold to make the patch move smoothly down the bore!

I just centre my patches over the bore and push the jag in. I use .30 cal commercially cut patches.

What type of patches are you using? If you're using some thick patches made for a bigger bore rifle it'll be a problem. It's really not hard to figure it out, it just takes some getting used to.

I also love The Champ reference in your name. Now we need a Manny the Mechanic.

Or just get a .30cal cleaning kit.. For patches I prefer Butch's 3" sq, cut in 1/2 for .30cals, 1/4 for .22

I like Outers patchs 3.7cm x 7.5 cm for 30-45 cal. Just begin with a corner and wrap on the jag. Since i'm greedy, i like using old T shirt to make patches but since the material is thicker, i cut the pieces shorter I like the SKS and Mosin jag
