Brownells sells a variety of tools to service revolvers, two of them are the "38 barrel alignment gauge" and "range rods".
My question is: are they both needed? The purpose of the alignment gauge is to check the alignment of barrel, cylinder, and firing pin hole. From the description, it appears that the Range Rod does only the barrel and cylinder. Am I missing something?
As far as verifying proper alignment of the critical revolver parts goes, I think that all one would need is the 38 barrel alignment gauge.
I would appreciate opinions on this, thanks.
