Kratos Design Group Suppressor-Bore Alignment Rod
Ensure Perfect Suppressor Alignment
The 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 Durability
Crafted 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 Standards
Manufactured 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 and Hodge Defense. 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.

Worked great. I’ve used it for my 556 aks so far to confirm everything is aligned. The packing case it comes in is great for storage and keeping it protected. Need the 308 when it comes in stock!

Great product! Will be purchasing more from this company!

Great Quality, amazing price and great customer service. I am waiting for the 7.62/.30 cal one to drop so I can get one. I currently have a much more expensive one and I like the more affordable Kratos one better.
Josh Hake (verified owner) –
Rod works perfectly! Shipping was very fast and the quality was great! Will for sure be ordering from Kratos again.

Micrometer measurements are excellent for proper bore fit. They are also consistent along the full length of the rod. The rod is rigid, yet with appropriate flexibility. It should be able to retain its straightness even with regular use and care. Simple, but effective storage container. Probably a better (and definitely a more cost effective choice) than most, if not all, of the metal alternatives. It will probably outlast me!

Great product for peace of mind. Shipped very quickly and excellent quality!

I bought two of these, one in 5.56 and the other for my .30 cal cans. 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.

Top notch and great value. Built very well
Craig McKnight (verified owner) –
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. I got the 6.5 and the 5.56

I purchased two the 5.56 and 7.62 both rods were as advertised, straight and within specifications. The quality exceeds what the cost is for them. I am currently awaiting for the 9mm version to be available for purchase once it’s back in stock. The only downside is their overall length they are on the shorter side of alignment rods and I can see in the future for me with one suppressor in particular them not being long enough.
Tom Sakowski (verified owner) –
I have several in different calibers, these do exactly what they are supposed to but at a fraction of the cost and weight of normal rods
Giovanni Bredice (verified owner) –
Wish I would have bought these a long time ago. A must have if your running suppressors on different guns and different mounting systems. A+

Worked great. I purchased the 223 and 308. Good quality rods. Thanks.
