[ARCHIVED THREAD] - CHECKING HEADSPACE

Posted: 1/3/2015 11:57:24 PM EDT

Can anyone post a link to some go/no go 5.56 headspace checking gauges.

I just built my third AR (briefcase AR by tac2). Really hoping to shoot it soon but don't want to explode.

ORRRR

If anyone wants to sell me some gauges I can pay you for SUPER EXPEDITED shipping on them.

Hoping to shoot the thing by Friday!

I have no idea why but the identical Forster gauges are $2 cheaper from their sister company Sinclair.

I am not trying to spend $80 for a 1 time check. Maybe I'll look for local stores.

Your local gunsmith should do it for about $10 or I've heard of gun ranges doing for free, as its a safety issue.

Always check headspace with both Go and No-go gages.
New weapons should pass both gages.
The Field gage is for weapons that previously passed Go and No-go.
