    Looking for correct cleaning rod

    Hi all, new here and to collectibles.
    I have a 1924 Mauser with the Yugoicon crest. Have not been able to locate the royal cypher on the stock, so based on serial # and manufacturer I think it is either 1933 or 1939. I have been trying to find a cleaning rod for it, but every rod I see is too "thick". It looks like what I need is about 5mm in diameter and around 14 3/4 in length. Seems the Germanicon rods are the correct diameter but not the length. Any ideas where I might find one? Thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    If someone with a 1924 doesn't mind measuring their cleaning rod length/diameter I would appreciate it. Since it is has been so hard to find this I am starting to wonder if I have a funky configuration and am on a goose chase.

    Check ebay, they usually put pretty decent descriptions on there. I've gotten a lot of Mauser cleaning rods that way, always got the right one. It is a real pain with some of these. Seems with the last one I got for a Spanish M43 I ended up going with one that fit the GEW98.

    Thanks, I have reached out to several sellers on EBay but no luck so far.
