New bolt in used upper, I don't worry about it.
Used bolt in used upper, I always check it. YMMV |

That is kinda what I was reading here. But there are conflicting views just like in every question. Usually I just fire a round, feel for any anomaly's, look the brass over good after firing and go to town.
Thanks |

Checking headspace is always recommended.

I've personally never checked headspace when putting a new bolt in a used upper. But I always check if new/new.
It's probably a good practice in general but I'd imagine if it's a used upper and a good quality bolt you'd be fine. But might as well check to be safe, especially if you or a buddy have the tools. I use the go/no-go gauges I picked up from Brownells years ago. |

What gauges are you running for 556 chambers?

It was always taught not to switch bolts between rifles when I was in the Army. Most of that was due to not knowing how wore out the rifles were or what the round counts were. While it IS a good idea to check head space, you should be okay with only 2000 round count on your rifle.
