Strike Industries Introduces Carbon Fiber "Send-It-Sticks" for Precise Suppressor Alignment
Preventing Costly Mishaps: Why Suppressor Alignment Matters
Suppressor enthusiasts know the sinking feeling that comes with discovering a baffle strike or end cap damage. These costly mishaps not only compromise suppressor performance but can also pose serious safety risks. Strike Industries has stepped into this space with an innovative solution designed to give shooters confidence in their suppressor setups.
The Carbon Advantage: Strike's New Alignment Rod Technology
Strike Industries has unveiled their latest firearm accessory—a comprehensive set of Carbon Fiber Suppressor Alignment Rods. Cleverly branded as "Send-It-Sticks," these precision tools allow firearm owners to verify proper alignment between barrel and suppressor before firing.
What sets these rods apart from competitors is the material choice. Unlike traditional steel alignment rods, Strike Industries has opted for carbon fiber construction, offering several distinct advantages:
- Barrel Protection: The carbon material is gentler on barrel finishes and internal surfaces compared to steel alternatives
- Exceptional Precision: Each rod maintains tight tolerances (within 0.003" straightness)
- Lightweight Design: The carbon fiber construction makes these alignment rods significantly lighter and more portable for range trips
Multi-Caliber Compatibility
The complete set covers an impressive range of calibers, making it versatile for shooters with multiple suppressed firearms:
How "Send-It-Sticks" Work
The operation is straightforward but effective. After mounting your suppressor to your firearm, you select the appropriate caliber rod from the set and insert it through the barrel. Proper alignment is visually confirmed when the rod passes through the barrel and centers perfectly within the suppressor bore without touching the baffles or end cap.
This simple check provides crucial peace of mind, especially important for:
- First-time suppressor users
- Setups using quick-detach mounting systems
- After changing muzzle devices or suppressor mounts
- When using a suppressor across multiple firearms
Why Alignment Tools Are Essential
For those new to suppressed shooting, concentricity checking should become routine practice. When a suppressor isn't properly aligned with the barrel, the projectile can strike internal baffles or the end cap, causing:
- Permanent damage to expensive suppressors
- Reduced sound suppression performance
- Potential safety hazards from damaged components
- Compromised accuracy
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Includes 6 suppressor alignment rods
- Set supports multiple calibers
- Safely check for concentricity w/o barrel damage
- Precise, durable, and lightweight
- Rods are within 0.003" straightness tolerances
Perfect for Modern Suppressor Setups
Today's suppressors frequently utilize various quick-detach mounting systems, making alignment verification increasingly important. With the growing popularity of using one suppressor across multiple firearms, these tools become even more valuable.
Accessibility and Value
At $84.95, the complete set represents an accessible investment compared to the potential cost of damaged suppressors. For perspective, quality suppressors typically range from $500-$1,200, making this alignment kit a sensible insurance policy.
The Strike Carbon Fiber Suppressor Alignment Rods are available now, offering both new and experienced suppressor users a reliable way to protect their investment and ensure optimal performance.
