The HUXWRX Alignment Rod (brand part no. 2261) is a 17-inch gunsmithing tool built to check bore and baffle alignment on 7.62/.30-caliber suppressor-ready barrels before you ever fire a round. Running the rod through the bore and host device confirms everything is concentric, which is the kind of check that catches a baffle strike risk before it becomes an expensive problem downstream. It’s a simple, purpose-built tool rather than an improvised rod or dowel, which matters when the alignment you’re checking protects both your barrel and whatever’s threaded onto the end of it.

Key Specifications

• 7.62/.30 caliber sizing matches the rod to this bore diameter for an accurate alignment check.
• 17-inch length is long enough to check alignment through a barrel and an attached host device in one pass.
• Purpose-built alignment tool gives a more reliable concentricity check than an improvised rod or dowel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this rod actually check? It checks that a 7.62/.30-caliber bore and any attached host device are properly aligned and concentric, which helps catch alignment problems before they cause damage.

Do I need this if I’m not running a suppressor? It’s built with suppressor-ready setups in mind, but any 7.62/.30-caliber bore alignment check benefits from a purpose-built rod like this one.
