30 cal rifle cleaning jag

Made this last night a .30 caliber jag. 0.200 inch diameter 3" long 8-32 thread.
What a pain to knurl 3" hanging out of the chuck unsupported.

It's brass from the local hobby store. I used a scissor knurling tool on it.

I plan on making a few more sizes. I am going to make a bushing
that will clamp in the tail stock chuck to support the end. I don't
know why I did not think of that for the first one.

Nice work, another reason I need a scisor knurl. Joe
