Who sells them and do they fit Pro Shot stainless rods?

However, it is too tight for my M1 barrel and I’ve had to use a .270 jag for that rifle. I’ve noticed that after a couple years now the Tipton is starting to wear off the nickel a bit. I just ordered a new one but will probably add some nylon jags to my collection.
