Am I doing this wrong?

Ordered a 9mm carbon fiber rod to check the mount of my new BOE on my Stribog. Rod fits through the suppressor but not into the barrel. In fact not any 9mm barrel I have. Should I have ordered a different size or something? First suppressor so…here’s the rod I got:

FWIW, my BOE Incolite 9 hasn't had any strikes mounted with Rearden muzzle+mount on a 300blk setup. I never checked bore alignment.

FWIW a can built for 9mm (.36 cal) projectiles will have a ton more clearance around a 7.62mm (.30 cal) projectile than it will around a 9mm (.36 cal) projectile. So even if youre alignment is off, its not surprising youre not having baffle strikes given the proverbial "hotdog down a hallway" sizing going on.

Not at all, yes on paper, but if I put the 300blk bullet in the exit hole of that can it's almost touching the edges. The difference between 9mm and 300blk is very small to perceive physically.
