I’m wanting to use a SOCOM50 on my DesertTech HTI. I have a Geissele .50 cal alignment rod. Supposedly Geissele manufactured these for SureFire as well. Alignment checks out at the SF brake.
Alignment appears OK at the last baffle.
At the end of the cap, it looks out of alignment. At this point, not a lot of rod is still in the bore. I thought that maybe the rod was not far enough in the barrel and sagging (1st pic below). I turned the rifle upside down and the alignment looks the same (2nd pic below).
How much of the rod should remain in the bore for accurate alignment? The rod is 17”. Any thoughts? I really don’t want a baffle strike on this one! Thanks in advance.
