What are the HP pad launch rod lengths? Is it 4 feet, 5 or 6...?
Much obliged.

The Ø1/4", Ø3/8" and Ø1/2" rods are all 6-feet long. Take away about a 6 to 10 inches for mounting in the base and blast deflector. To be safe, figure on only 5-feet of usable rod length.

I haven't measured what we have for 1010 and 1515 rail but they would be longer.

The 1010 rails are 6' and 8'. I believe the 1515 is 10'.

Is there an 8' 1010 rail out on loan somewhere ? I only located one of them, there used to be two.
