You shouldn't have any problems with head space if your using a decent quality bolt and barrel...

You dont have to start off with "stupid question" on this site, people here will not jump on you just because you dont have all the infinite wisdom that they do, which seems to be the case on other boards.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people with questions.
That being said the only people who are more stupid than asking if the AR15 barrel swap required headspacing are the people who insist that is in fact does need headspacing. It is a plug and play process, if your headspacing is wrong you buy a new barrel and bolt. And try again. |

However, most all pros check the headspace as a matter of procedure. The failure rate is very small, but still possible. Checking the headspace is an easy task if you have the gauge. You can even check it before you swap barrels. with the loose bolt and loose barrel with extension mounted.

Can one get by with just one headspace gauge? (A "field" gauge?)
