What gear is typically used for the 9.3? I'm using .358 cal bore brushes and patches that are too small.We used to be able to buy an unbleached muslin patch of 2.5" square. They were surplus and designed to clean the Ma Deuce for the military. My jags are .358 and brushes are the same spec. Just wondering about others. TIA Packy

Nylon .375 brush and similarly matched patch?

A 38 Rifle/Pistol brush works great. That is the brush that my Otis Cleaning system suggests.

.35 size jags and brushes work perfectly. If the patched jag feels a bit loose, just cut the patches a little larger

I use .35 jags and .375 brushes.....works perfectly

I've used bronze .375 brushes for years.

358 jags & brushes are too small. You could fold the patch up and make it fit the bore.

375 brushes - nylon & bronze works fine.

Try the 375 jag & see how much space you have in the bore. I use this with Napier gun cloth, which is thin, and it works great.

However - Now a days I just use the 375 Nylon brush with a Wipeout soaked patch. I find that with Wipeout, the brushing & rod work is reduced significantly. You really do not need a jag.

.366 ones is what i use.

they can be found on the european market.

Or even 30 cal jags with a bit more material
wrapped around.

I remember using a 35 when an jag while hunting in Canada previously

Can you get hold of that where ever you are ?

I have a few 9.3s. 93x74, X57 and two X62s. I have used the 358 gear and never quite satisfied. Thanks. I would guess my next Midway order will include 375 brushes. I will try some fabric stores for unbleached muslin,two sided knap. That will be the best for the moment.

For my 9.3x57 I use a .375 bronze brush. I was not happy with the fit of a .358 jag with the patches I use so I turned one on the lathe from delrin and tweaked the diameter until it fit just right.

I may do just that. Trim a .375 jag until it fits with the patches I find.

I use .358 Jags, and I am not satisfied.

My Tipton .375 jag is too large for my .375 Win 70, new SC Made.

I swapped to a bore tech jag in .375 for the .375, which is just fine. Also use Pro Shot or Bore Tech jags now in several calibers, they are better than the Tipton ones.

I want a .366 JAG!!!

Where may I buy one?

TIA, Hermann

9mm Mak is the real 9.3 mm (.366). But Otis for example recommend No.38 brush.

For trimmer pilots I had problems getting 366. So I got a 375 & put it on an electric drill and spun it over 120 emery. Now i have a perfect 366 pilot. Later on I found a proper one too.

just a correction found out that my jags are .354.

i have a real bore snake make from Ruag that is ``real`` .366.

sorry about the confusion.

I have a set of jags in a little platic box with the jags in their respective holes and the size embossed - from .22 to .458 - total of 8 or 10.

The 375 jag measures .330 in the front band and progressively smaller for next 3 bands. The size below is 9mm & that measures .306. I have used the 375 jag with thin cloth like Napier & the traditional gun patch rolls with red stripes.

Like the rest, I improvise...and it works fine.
I use a .375 bore snake most of the time as I'm not a overcleaning nut with my rifles..I do clean them about once a year with rod and use whatever patches I have on hand and a Nylon .375 brush, sometimes I have to double patch to get a fit..

I use Wipe Out for my yearly cleaning, then clean the Wipe Out, with patch or two of Hoppes, or whatever, dry patch it then clean and swab with Rem Oil or WD-40 and put it up..

I think the bore snakes are the best thing since sliced white bread..one pass is equal to 160 patches and you never scratch your bore..

In my shooting bag I have a WW2 K98k cleaning kit
I use the chain pull through at the range with a combination powder/copper fouling cleaner.
