SureFire Bore Alignment Rod

SureFire makes heat-treated stainless-steel bore alignment rods, and the brand context matters: SureFire builds the SOCOM suppressor line and the muzzle devices those cans mount to, so its rod is the natural check for a SureFire-mount host. The rods are sold individually by caliber across .223 (5.56mm), 6.5mm, 6.8mm, .308 (7.62mm), .338, .408, and 9mm.

The stainless construction puts SureFire in the same hard-gage camp as Geissele rather than the carbon-fiber budget tier. Pricing runs from $99 to $239 depending on caliber, with the .408 model topping the range, which is the premium end of the category. What you buy at that price is a rod from the company that engineered the mounting interface you are checking, which removes any question about whether the gage matches the system's intended geometry.

For a shooter running SureFire SOCOM muzzle devices and cans on a new host, the SureFire rod is the cohesive choice. For mixed-brand setups, a Geissele steel rod or an Accuracy Solutions carbon rod does the same concentricity check for less.
