Gotta run to the farm right now but when I get back I will share some thoughts with you.
What I did was align the new tip along side the existing rod. Mark on the rod where the heel of the new tip is. Then with a hack saw cut the rod off at that point. Sand the cut smooth and sand a beveled edge around the cut rod. Find the center of the cut rod, center punch that spot and with a drill and a #21 drill bit, drill a hole in the rod to accept the new jag. After the hole is drilled you will need to tap the hole with a 10/32" tap, this will cut the threads in the rod so the new jag can be screwed in.
The other thing you could do which would be a little easier is purchase this type jag and add it to your current rod. I should not stick out far enough to cause any kinds of problems....
