I have been searching without success for what I thought would be a simple search on the web... I guess I'm not couching the search terms properly.
What I'm trying to find is a table/chart that provides the max/min barrel bore dimensions for the various calibers. What I'm trying to achieve is to be able to reasonably confirm if a suppressor mounted on a threaded barrel is sufficiently aligned to ensure minimal chance for a baffle strike before firing the suppressed gun for the first time.
My 73 year old optics will not focus properly to allow eyeballing through the bore which I'm not sure I'd trust in any event. I thought if I got the proper sized drill rod I could insert it into the barrel far enough to provide for a stable mount and then checking to ensure that the drill rod is sufficiently centered with the suppressor bore at its exit.
I realize this is not very scientific and certainly not mechanically accurate to the Nth degree but it ought to give me more assurance than I have now.
Any feedback will be much appreciated.
