The Brownells Revolver Range Rod Head for .44/44 Magnum is an essential gunsmithing tool designed to ensure precise barrel and cylinder alignment. This range rod instantly reveals if a revolver barrel and cylinder are in perfect alignment and detects whether the cylinder crane or yoke has been sprung, which can throw the axis of the bore out of line. Whether you’re performing accuracy jobs, conducting professional service inspections, or identifying causes of lead splatter, this precision instrument delivers reliable results.
The tool features a 10½” long handle with a knurled grip end and a 2½” long head made of steel hardened to Rc 52-54. The head is threaded to interchange with other caliber heads on the handle, except for the .17 caliber Range Rod Handle, which fits only the .17 caliber Range Rod Head. The 44 caliber (.429-.430) specification provides the exact dimensions needed for .44 and .44 Magnum revolvers, with sizes carefully selected to indicate even very small misalignments.
Each head combo includes the Range Rod Handle, one Head, and Instructions, making it ready to use immediately. This essential tool is perfect for both match and service grade revolvers, making it a valuable addition to any gunsmith’s toolkit or serious revolver enthusiast’s equipment collection.
