Suppressor alignment rods from McMaster-Carr

[BigMike]

About any size you would need.

And looks like enough stuff to form 1 a suppressor. And I live close to the warehouse.

PSA is not a barrel manufacturer as far as I know...so they can't really say if a barrel is concentric or not.

Don't buy cheap guns if details matter.
" in some cases cheaper guns are a good deal but from the start you hope for the best"
I like PSA..don't take me the wrong way, but I was a trusting sort of guy when I was younger.
If you bought an item it was considered the fault of the manufacturer and they were upset it had to be returned.
Now days...you order three...keep the best and sell the worse two.

Big names in firearms industrie have let quality and pride fall by the wayside.

Carry on...the alignment rods are a must have...unless you like to gamble.

cmshoot posted an article on AR15 bolts, its a good read as well.

For those who are using the rods how far down the muzzle end does the rod pass on say a 5.56??

Slide the rod in from the back of the rifle/chamber end. Tip the rifle/upper up and let the rod slide out. If you have alignment issues, the rod will strike a baffle.

Got my final invoice. For a 3’ 6.5 and a 3’ 5.56 I paid a total of $22.74 after shipping and tax. That’s enough material for 4-6 rods.

Can't beat it. I ordered 6.5, 308, and 223 yesterday. Just got delivered by UPS. Impressive.

So I know a lot of people who have had luck with these, but in the last month I ordered one from McMaster, and it wasn’t straight. I then ordered one from CNC warrior and it wasn’t straight (they were hard to deal with btw). Finally, I had to bite the bullet and buy a Geissele alignment rod. Most guys I know get away with either of the first two options, but make sure you check them before you trust your investments to them.

My work deals with McMaster a lot and they are pretty good at fixing their issues. I would of called and had it fixed. Luckily I have a locally warehouse

just an fyi - I received a bent rod from them once

roll your rods on a true flat surface to verify once you have them in hand
