Jag problem

I've never done it, but a couple times one of my pals would grab my range rod to load their gun. The brass threads on a jag is a bad design. They would go to load, not get a straight push and snap off the jag @ the threads.

I took the broken one, cut the broken part off in a lathe, drilled & tapped it (10-32) and inserted a steele threaded rod to replace the brass threads. Never broken one since.
