I have been looking for such a thing. Thank you. I placed an order immediately after watching this. I would not be suprised if companies are buying these rods and selling them as alignment tools and making and making a lot of money!

.2031" - P/N 8890K185 - Good general purpose rod for 22 caliber suppressor alignment. This should work well for distinctly undersized match .22LR bores (think CZ452/455 at .210-.212" bore diameter & target ARs) but otherwise may be a slightly loose fit. .212" - P/N 8890K189 - BEST FIT for many standard, tight 22 caliber bores (.22LR at .217" bore diameter, .223/5.56 at .219" bore diameter, etc). Good fit for PSA AR & Ruger MKIII. .2187" - P/N 8890K191 - Alternative for older, loose 2.23 / 5.56 bores. This might be too tight if barrel is dirty. Close to Geissele rod at .2175". .234" - P/N 8890K195 - Alternative for tight, undersized, match 6mm ARC bores. .2343 - P/N 8890K207 - BEST FIT for many standard 6mm ARC bores. .250" - P/N 8890k213 - BEST FIT for 6.5mm Creedmoor/Grendel bores (.256" bore diameter). .250" - P/N 8888K361 - Alternative if above is out of stock, uses A2 Tool Steel instead of W2. Same dimensions and tolerances. Hardness rating increased from Medium/Rockwell B95 to Hard/Rockwell B104. .295" - P/N 8890K227 - BEST FIT for tight 7.62x39, .308, 300BLK and most Western 30 caliber bores (.300" bore diameter). Good fit for CZ 527. .2968" - P/N 8890K228 - Alternative for oversized, loose .300 blk/ .308 bores. Tiny, tiny bit of play. Too tight to fit CZ 527. This is also nearly identical to the diameter of the Geissele rod at .297". .339" - P/N 8890K239 - BEST FIT for tight 9mm bores (.346" diameter). .3437" - P/N 8890K241 - Alternative for loose 9mm bores. Perfect for Scorpion & CZ-75. Little bit of play in Uzi & G19. .4218" - P/N 8890K259 - Alternative for loose fit for .45 ACP bores (.442" diameter). Too much play in DW 1911. .4375" - P/N 8890K262 - BEST FIT for tight .45 ACP bores. May generally work but could be too tight for rare cases. Perfect for DW 1911

That Sammi site is a great resource! Thank you

I ordered one yesterday and it was delivered today.Great company and great product

Did this too. Bought rods for 6 calibers for the price of a single Surefire rod. Plus after cutoff I have lathe stock.

I'm new to the can game. I just got my first one out of jail (2 day wait!). Thanks for the suggestion on the bore alignment. I ordered 5 rods, it was about $5o including shpping and got them in 2 days. I test fit them and everything seems great.

Thanks! I bought the 22 and 300.

Awesome Sauce

Thanks man

I have never once and granted. I only own two suppressors but I have never once had a problem. Just looking down the bore to see if it's in alignment

Great Job Sir! It’s almost hard to believe that you only have 80 subscribers. Do you have another channel? If not, you should. Thanks again

You should pin Dominic’s comment with the rod sizes for each caliber. Thanks for the info!

Which one did you end up going with for 9mm?

Where did you find the McMaster-Carr print-out?

Great job. Just looking into this myself. McMaster keeps coming up as a great alternative to the stupid expensive versions. So which rod size did you choose for the 9mm? Thanks again for sharing.

Hello, thanks for this very useful and interesting video. Did you order a O1 Tool Steel Rods of 0.212" for a 22LR? Thanks in advance

Ive got an ar10 in 308 with a hybrid 46m. Im using the asr mount and the muzzle device uses the shim kit it came with but i noticed the shim is crushed and is coming over the shoulder of the barrel. I used the rod you suggested and it isn't touching but its definitely not perfectly centered. My question is is it possible the shim is causing this to not be aligned better?

Any chance of getting some help figuring out what rod i would need to check the clearance of a 338 Lapua Magnum?

how did you cut it in half?

Small chance that you’re still read this but if you are. It seems they have taken down most caliber sizes on the website. anyway you can help with getting that data. A copy of the diagrams. Looking for 9, 40, 45, 223/556. Thanks in advance.

❤

This is great and all but not everyone has a grinder or know how to use one to round off the end like you did. Also, would have been nice to know what exactly you used to cut the 3ft lengths of rod in half.

why wouldnt you go over the diameters of the other caliber rods other than 9mm?....

Thank you for sharing. Looking at the list now to purchase a couple. Wanted to check with you and compare. Did you order 0.212 for 223/556 barrels? And 0.29 for 308/762 barrels?

What did you use to cut the rod?

Lol pretty sure the rod was touching the suppressor until you used your index finger to center it

What barrel are you using?

Mine had a definite bend. Waste of money

I don’t get it. Why would it not be aligned? And if it weren’t, there’s no adjustment to make, so what’s the point?

I guess this video ok for garage gunsmiths but not exactly good advice! Reason bore rods expensive due to top level CNC procedures uniform tolerances from end to end on high grade materials cost considerably more than what McMaster - Carr offers! Expensive bore rods have excellent quality control measures you’re not going to find with cheap rods designed for other purposes! Top level CNC machining of high grade materials guarantees precision and durability for accurately measuring clearances with wire filler gauges, thickness shim gauges, micrometers, and calibers! Rolling McMaster - Carr rods across table top to gauge uniform concentric is ridiculous advice use for identifying bore center alignments for suppressor use! “Two different size rods for 9mm”, Really? LOL
