    Forster Headspace Guages

    After having my barrels fitted to my No4 Mk1 Savage and No5, other than coming back with a headspace problem with one of the projects I came home with another LB No4 Mk1* (all matching numbers).
    I am looking at getting a set of the Forster Headspace guages, do I need all three, I am still new to all this and the information overload is really starting to confuse me, which is easily done.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I hear that the Arrowmark headspace gauges are the best. I think Brian at BDLicon sells them.

    I'd buy the whole set, but if you only want one, you probably want to buy the .074 field (or reject) gauge.

    For 80 years, Commonwealth Armourers managed with two. .o64" GO and .074" NO GO. Nobody really needs any more................... I often ask myself what anyone would need with an '..its getting close' .070" gauge for. But that's only my opinion based on my limited experience
