Even if the weapon will pass the Colt max chamber gage (1.4736”) now it may not after a few hundred rounds.
If this is true, then Colt is negligent in creating the Colt II Field Gauge.
Our troop's M16s and M4s are checked with a gauge of that dimension.
A "few hundred rounds" could be expended on one mission.
You quoted out of context.
I quoted you directly.
You are not allowing for breakin with new components.
Mil acceptance tests allow up to .0028” increase in headspace in the first 50 rounds
So according to you, a rifle needs to be fired 50 times before a headspace check is even valid ?
Where did you get this information ?
If this were true it would show up in the Tech Manuals.
It does not.
I don’t know which field gage is in general issue, but judging from posts I have read the 1.4730” gage is still present.
That's the old Colt gauge.
The current gauge is the Colt II (1.4736")
