Kratos Design Group Suppressor-Bore Alignment RodEnsure Perfect Suppressor AlignmentThe Kratos Design Group Bore Alignment Rod is an essential tool for any shooter. armorer or professional gunsmith, designed to verify the proper alignment of your suppressor and muzzle device with the bullet trajectory. Misalignment can lead to catastrophic baffle strikes, making it crucial to verify barrel-to-suppressor alignment before firing any build for the first time.Precision and DurabilityCrafted as a precision gauge, the Kratos Design Group alignment rod is engineered to verify the alignment of a suppressor to the bore of your firearm barrel. Given that suppressors are typically much longer than the combined length of the barrel, muzzle device, and suppressor interface geometry, even a minor deviation at the mounting interface can result in significant misalignment at the end of the suppressor. This precision tool addresses potential cumulative deviations to ensure your suppressor is perfectly aligned.Superior Manufacturing StandardsManufactured from carbon fiber, the Kratos alignment rod is designed to be just under the nominal bore diameter of each caliber. Our 5.56/.223 rod is specifically engineered to work with barrels that have tapered bores, such as those from Centurion. The carbon fiber rods are straight to within 0.001" over the length of the rod, ensuring precision.The lightweight properties of carbon fiber also prevent "rod sag" often seen with steel rods. Carbon fiber maintains its straightness over the life of the rod, whereas steel rods are prone to bending, which can lead to inaccurate alignment verification.Features and Benefits Bore Specific & Precision Straight: Guaranteed straight to 0.001 to ensure the highest alignment accuracy. Durable, Lightweight Construction: Made from carbon fiber, the suppressor alignment rod retains its straightness and provides accurate readings throughout its lifespan. Convenient Identification: Engraved with the caliber size for easy identification. Protective Packaging: Our rods come packed in durable, reusable clear storage tubes that can be used to safely store and transport the rod.
