Details

The Kratos Design Group Carbon Fiber Bore Alignment Rod is an essential tool for shooters, armorers, and gunsmiths. Designed specifically for 5.56/.223 calibers, this rod helps ensure proper alignment between the suppressor and barrel, reducing the risk of catastrophic baffle strikes. The caliber size is conveniently engraved on the rod for easy identification.

Features:

  • Caliber specific for 5.56mm
  • Made of carbon fiber
  • Includes clear storage tube
  • Outer diameter: 0.215" / 5.47mm
  • Length: 15"
  • Straightness: 0.001″


Crafted from lightweight carbon fiber, this rod resists bending or sagging, unlike heavier steel alternatives. Its diameter is slightly smaller than the bore size, allowing for easy insertion and precise alignment. This 5.56 rod is specifically designed to accommodate barrels with tapered bores, such as those from Centurion and Hodge Defense. For added convenience, it comes with reusable clear storage tubes to protect the rod and make it easy to transport.

Excellent

by

This rod arrived quickly and allowed me to verify alignment of my suppressor. It's a simple took but it's straight and works as it should. I'm happy with it.

Works As It Should

by

I really like this one. It's super straight and allows me to get the confidence that I'm not going to blow up my suppressor. It's the best value out there.

Woorks Great

by

Works great. It’s easier than shining a light through and quicker and more accurate than looking down the bore. The rod was very straight and the case is nice to store it in. I need a 9mm one now.

Nice Rod

by

These are great, light weight, incredibly straight and priced reasonably. Way cheaper than the metal one I saw listed

Straight & Lightweight.

by

Used this as an alignment rod for a new build it works great. The rod is incredibly straight lightweight and functional. Like the brightly colored end so easier to see when inserted. It is a cost-effective item to make sure your expensive toys doesn’t get destroyed by a baffle strike.

Lightweight & Sraight

by

It’s a lot straighter but more expensive than Mcmaster rods. It is still cheaper and weighs less than other competitors. I'll be picking up a 6.5 when available

Excellent

by

Exactly as ordered. Good news is they were straight as can be and I trust that my suppressor will fire safely because of them. Nothing worse than a baffle or an end cap strike. Definitely recommend. And the price isn’t bad either.

It works good

by

It's a very simple tool but well worth it to avoid wrecking a suppressor. The rod was extremely straight and at half the price of my metal rod it's a hell of a deal. I like this one quite a bit better.

Solid tool

by

I recently started buying suppressors so I decided to pick one up to make sure I don't break anything. The quality was much better than expected. Having these saves me so much time going to my LGS to have them run alignment every time I buy a can or new host. The packing case it comes in is great for storage and keeping it protected.

Excellent Rod

by

I'm pretty happy with this one. It's extremely straight and allowed me to quickly verify alignment of my Polonium K. It's a lot cheaper of an option than other rods I've seen and the quality is amazing.
