We all know how important it is that the mount/threads be concentric to the bore of the weapon. My question is, do most guys check the clearances or not? If you do check, how. I have looked at the Geissele alignment tools and not sure if I couldn't make due with a peice of drill rod. Don't get me wrong, the Geissele tool is nice but @ $75 apeice for a one time use, I have to pass. (of course when my can ends up downrange, I may rethink my frugality)

Thoughts?

I didn't check the numbers. I put my mount on, mounted the suppressor, then looked down the bore made sure it was clear of any visible baffles and it was a perfect circle. Not a perfect method, but I've used my can on 5 different rifles with no issue thus far.

Drop a rod. Look down the bore like suggested.

Ive been good to go on about 4 different AR barrels, a C93, and a Savage bolt gun.

I think the concentric thing is a little over blown. Im sure there are some cheap barrels out there that are suspect, but if you use anything quality you will be fine in my experience

This method has worked for me every time.

where can I get a rod to check a 7.62 barrel?

I use a visual check followed by a piece of drill rod with tape or orings to get a decent snug fit in barrel. I usually worry more about the can than the barrel threads as I do all mine by form1 now
