Bought one of the carolina annular cutter and die kits and it ain't working out for me unfortunately. Tried twice now and the suppressor is badly aligned, both times it is pointing down.

Anything im doing wrong? Feels like the pilot guides aren't a big enough diameter to keep everything aligned.

Fairly pissed at this point I spent hours doing this and am now looking at losing 3" of barrel and bringing it to a gunsmith.

Poor old 67 I should have just left her alone.
 
Are you spinning the tool or the work?
Only way for pain free alignment is spinning the work (barrel), get it to a gunsmith with a lathe.
