    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.

    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
