The Huxwrx Alignment Rod for 338 caliber firearms eliminates guesswork when installing suppressors and muzzle devices. This precision tool ensures perfect thread engagement and prevents costly cross-threading damage to barrel threads and suppressor mounting systems.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic steel alignment rods that can scratch or damage precision threads, this carbon fiber construction provides the strength needed for proper alignment while protecting delicate surfaces. The 18-inch length accommodates most rifle configurations, including those with extended handguards or chassis systems. The bright green tip provides instant visual confirmation of proper seating depth and alignment angle.
Key Features
- 338 caliber (8.6mm) bore diameter for precise fit in .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Norma, and similar cartridges
- 18-inch carbon fiber shaft resists bending under installation pressure
- Bright green polymer tip for easy visibility during alignment process
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended gunsmithing sessions
- Non-marring surface protects expensive barrel crown and thread surfaces
- Compatible with all standard 5/8x24 and M18x1.5 threaded muzzle devices
- Precision machined to maintain consistent diameter throughout length
Professional gunsmiths and precision rifle builders rely on proper alignment tools to prevent thread damage that can cost hundreds in repairs. The carbon fiber material maintains rigidity under pressure while eliminating the risk of metal-on-metal contact that steel rods create. This tool proves essential when installing high-end suppressors on competition rifles where thread integrity directly affects accuracy potential.
