I’m a complete newbie at shooting, so this is a newbie question.
I unexpectedly got a .44 Pietta 1858 NMA. I went to Cabela’s last weekend to pick up supplies. I saw a bunch of cleaning tools that I thought must be for rifles since they were rods with attachments. I bought a set of twist wire brushes. I’ve since found that people use those rods on revolvers, too.
Is there a specific sized rod I should use?
What attachments do I need (obviously a bore brush but what else)?
What is a “jag” and do I need one?
