That existing flange on the outlet end is .53" diameter. I reckon for use on smaller diameters it would probably be easiest to replace it with a threaded hole for jags.

My buddy has a 11 degree coning tool that is designed for .45 revolver forcing cones. Would it work on a muzzleloading rifle?
Unfortunately, that applies to 85%+/- of everything.

I've used that same tool for just what it's made for ("unmentionables" as owned by "deplorables") -- but I think it's much too aggressive an angle for what this post is about. It cuts and removes chips of steel at a much faster rate than the polishing as one does with the Joe Woods tool.
The image below shows how that forcing cone tool cut and cleaned up some rough machining marks on my Ruger Old Army's forcing cone -- but imagine the amount of metal removed if you went in 1/2" or more into the bore.
