Excellent Tool, Cheap Insurance
I purchased the GA Suppressor Alignment Check Rod after my GA 30SD was released from BATFE jail, and am I ever glad I did.
The OEM muzzle brake on the Tavor 7 will accept the GA Gate-Lok system, so I mounted the suppressor and checked with the alignment rod. The rod was touching the inside of the b...

Not what I was expecting
This alignment rod fits perfectly into my 1911 45 barrel but surprisingly not my H&K USP tactical 45. When I wrote to customer services, I was told my 45 was out of spec. This was also surprising because I have only shot factory ammo and only have a few hundred rounds threw the gun. So when I tried ...

Used on Zastava M70
I have a Zastava M70 Ak and I’ve heard they are notorious for having issues when going to suppress. I have a YHM mid length muzzle brake that bottoms out on the barrel. No crush washer or spacers needed to time. It bottoms out before it touches the sight post. Which you don’t want by the way. The sight post is basically pressed on and its not okay to bottom a muzzle brake on the sight post. But I used the alignment rod and my barrel was slightly off with my YHM RS9 attached. But it cleared and is good to go. I would recommend using these rods.

Griffin Armament Suppressor Alignment Check Rod
A well made alignment rod that I got for suppressing my AKs. I did not want to chance metal rods from McMasters.
Would recommend: Yes
Good value
Good price and quality product. Might be overkill to make sure suppressor is installed correctly, but give peace of mind. I'll use it every time I change a mount or something significant. Very reasonable price for a quality product.

Alignment check rods
This is an essential tool to prevent suppressor damage. Anytime you add on to the barrel like a suppressor the connection is the weakest point in the chain of events when shooting. I feel safer when using this alignment rod as it represents the bullet traveling down the barrel AND through the suppressor.
I recently checked my .22 barrel and suppressor after cleaning and it did not feel smooth when inserting the alignment rod. I disassembled my suppressor and found one of the baffles was not stacked up properly. It was minor but the rod detected the alignment problem. It speaks to you by feel and visually seeing that it’s concentric and there is enough clearance all the way around. In the above case it appeared concentric BUT it did not feel right when inserting the rod.
Better safe than sorry but we ALL have to make safety our number one concern.

its literally a metal rod
Nothing special just a metal rod that’s straight and guaranteed to be straight. Is it worth $60+? Maybe if it was made out of pure silver. At the end of the day, most people won’t need an alignment rod, particularly if you buy a factory rifle and just add a muzzle device. If you built your rifle completely then yes, I’d recommend it since no factory is doing any precision checks for you. At the end of the day, I wish I hadn’t purchased it and won’t purchase another one. Alignment rods are pretty much a Reddit user thing, I learned my lesson.
Pros:
- its straight
Cons:
- price
- Application
- Gimmick
Best Used for:
- Custom Builds
Would recommend: No

Awesome Product!
Griffin Armament not only makes awesome suppressors but they also have great accessories. I own three Griffin Suppressor Rods in three different diameters. They work great, are of great quality. Although I’d like to pay less, you get what you pay for and they’re far cheaper than having a misalignment failure.
Would recommend: Yes
