Navy Cleaning Rod Dimensions

wlyon · 11-03-2013, 12:20 PM

I purchased a repro zig zag Navy rod from Bulgaria. Actually very well built but to long. I can cut it down but need to know the correct dimensions. Everywhere I look they are different. "Imperial Lugers" says 198.4 mm overall with a rod length of 185.7mm. "Pistole Parabellum" says a rod length of 185mm. A German diagram in Benders ( which I had forgotten was there and graciously sent to me by Norme) says 207mm overall and rod length of 186.5mm. Can any of you Navy rod owners help me out? Thanks Bill
