A tool called a "range rod," a snug fitting rod that slips in from the muzzle and is inserted into each hole in the cylinder to check alignment is needed. Even this will not indicate true alignment unless it has a fitted head that screws onto the rod once inserted and fits inside the forcing cone with the cylinder closed so you can check all the bores as you cycle the action. But with most revolvers, just the basic range rod is close enough because of the play in the cylinder when in lock up.</p></blockquote><p></p>
