Would anybody be able to take a pair of calipers to their bore alignment rod and tell me the actual thickness?

Mine is:

Main beam = avg .995 inches
Splined end = avg .741 inches

Hope that helps.

ETA: I see you edited your post. Per your original request, the measurements above are for the G Reaction Rod and not what your looking for.

I suspect suppressors, to eliminate round strike.

Maybe not.

Correct. Suppressor to bore alignment.

Are we supposed to guess what caliber the rod will be used with?

I'm impressed with the shipping. They ship in giant tubes so they don't get bent.
