Alignment rod for 30 cal and 556?

[user1776]

Does anyone happen to have either of these? Would love to borrow them for a second to just make sure everything on my firearm and can are nice and aligned before I go and shoot. 

Located in Nashville, but if you'd trust me with shipping I'm happy to cover your cost and ship it back to you within a day or two.

Found a cheap source - McMaster Carr. 

 

In case anyone needs this in the future, here's a resource on what parts to purchase:

I have a great chart showing DME Ejector Pin part numbers cross reference with bore sizes.  That's what I have used to ensure proper alignment.  If someone wants to PM me a text number or email, I'll send you the chart to post here.  I get too frustrated trying to attach pics to my posts here.

I'll admit I had no clue what an alignment rod was until now, my cans are welded shut.

This is relevant for both people who form 1 manufacture cans and people who want to make sure their form 4 cans are sitting on their muzzle device or thread properly and nothing bads about to happrn

I made my rods, 45ACP, 9mm, 556 and 300BO.

 

Here's the chart I used.

McMaster-Carr is cheap but not always the best for this. Surefire or Geissele is the way to go if you have multiple rifles you are installing cans on. 

Always better to be safe rather than sorry IMO...

I'd also read somewhere people using arrow shafts as guide rods (graphite/carbon fiber) as some of these companies guarantee being straight.

Anyone have any idea of what arrows/bolts would do the trick?
