Crazymonkey Report post Posted September 20, 2022 Just got my first set of suppressors yesterday.What are you guys using for alignment rods? I've seen the blip about drill rod blanks from McMaster carr and the big difference in cost from true alignment rods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatfishKev Report post Posted September 20, 2022 Well if your using the correct caliber for the suppressor it's a non issue unless the machining of the barrel is not done right or the suppressor is a pos. Unless your an idiot like I was and cross threaded it in the heat of panic. I was like hey that was pretty loud, then I was like hey where the eff is my suppressor? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
