First bad experience with cleaning the muzzy.Cleaned the knight disc elite 45cal last night and the cleaning jag broke off my ram rod. It was sticking out of the end of the barrel about a 1/4", just enought to get pliers around it and twist it out. Got lucky there.
Anything like this ever happen to guys?
It happen because the jag became unscrewed partially and was not flat against the rod. Get a split washer and use that between your jag and your ram rod. Also best for cleaning to get a solid cleaning rod and use that as your cleaning rod at the range. I have a Knight origonal Disc and the rod on that is lame--hollow and when I used it as a cleaning rod, the end of it pulled out because it was hollow. Went to a XS Power Rod for the Knight and bought a separate range rod with a spinjag for a 50 cal:

TC bought XS.RMC Sports sells solid aluminum ram rods at a very resonable price, here:
