What's the OAL of a Garand Op Rod?

I have a rod here I think is a Tipo 2 Conversion rod, but it doesn't have the standard 7.62mm/2 marking on the oprod handle. I can take a fullsize garand apart and measure it, but I figured it was easier to ask. Plus I'd have to sneak past sleeping toddlers to get into the gun room. :)

This one measures 23 1/16 from handle to piston tip.

Thanks

Okay, I remembered to measure my PB op rod that is 7.62 stamped...It is right at 23 1/32 inches long. as mine is stamped, but does not have the slash grind marks for the auto selector..my SA typo 2 rod has stamp and the slash on it..it works perfectly in my rifle, which had a little action yesterday..

Thanks OG. Mine has the Grind marks, I saw them and didn't know what they were. But my previous 7.62 marked one didn't.

Thanks
