I'm curious to know HOW a rod like this could ever be broken anywhere..That's a serious piece of steel.

Hi Joseph, It seems to me that you have enough left to fashion a full length Navy rod. Navy rods are 207mm from tip to butt (or from stem to stern as they say in the Navy). The threaded portion including the 9mm ferule at the tip is 62mm. I'm enclosing the Navy rod blueprint for the early brass zig-zag version, but the dimensions are the same as for the later steel version.
Regards, Norm |

Well I took the rod and compared it to a navy holsters' cleaning rod pouch. The fit is perfect. So much so that I wonder if the rod was intentionally broken off at that length, for use with a navy holster. For now I think I will not make any attempt to further modify it. Thanks for your insight and comments. Best regards, Joe G. |
