223 Remington, NO-GO Headspace Gauge, SAAMI Dimensioned, Rimless, Hardened St...

Description: Every gunsmith knows that proper use of a headspace gage is the most reliable way to test the length of a rifle chamber. “Headspace” is the distance between the face of the breech and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed, and excessive headspace can be dangerous as well as impair accuracy. For instance, unsupported brass fired in a rifle action with excessive headspace can rupture, allowing gas to blow rearward like rocket exhaust. Because your safety is on the line, Forster Headspace Gages are made with painstaking care and exacting manufacturing standards to ensure accurate testing of your rifle’s chamber. If a rifle closes on a GO gage, the rifle chamber will accept any ammunition that is made within SAAMI (industry standard) specifications. If a rifle closes on a NOGO gage, the rifle chamber might have excessive headspace. Most gunsmiths chamber a rifle’s headspace between the GO and NOGO dimensions. If a rifle closes on a FIELD gage, the rifle chamber is dangerously close to or already over the SAAMI specified maximum chamber size. 223 REM: Used to check headspace of 223 Rem and 6mm x 45 RIMLESS CARTRIDGE HEADSPACE: The proper use of Headspace Gauges is the most reliable way to test rifle chamber length. Headspace in a rimless cartridge is the distance between the bolt face and a datum line, determined by SAAMI, where the front of the cartridge rests on its shoulder when the bolt is closed. NO-GO: Corresponds to the maximum headspace we recommend for gunsmiths’ chambering new bolt-action rifles. This is not a SAAMI-maximum measurement. If a rifle closes on a NO-GO Gauge, it may still be within SAAMI specifications, or it may have excessive headspace. To determine if there is excessive headspace, the chamber should then be checked with a FIELD Gauge. The NO-GO Gauge is a valuable tool for gunsmiths’ reaming new chambers, in order to ensure tight and accurate headspace PRECISION MACHINED: Manufactured from top-quality, hardened steel and precision ground to ANSI and SAAMI tolerances. Headspace tolerance ground to a very exacting ±.00015. Each Headspace Gauge thoroughly inspected with NIST-certified measurement tools to ensure the highest quality product. MEASURING MEANINGFUL HEADSPACE: Properly speaking, and for safety purposes, one measures “headspace” as the difference between the length of a standard cartridge, as represented by a Gauge, and the gun’s actual chamber length , when the head of the cartridge is flush against the bolt face.
