2A1 Ishapore terrible accuracy + other problems

[mrclark303]

How do you check the headspace ?
Remember these are 7.62 (not 308 Win) and there are 12 different 7.62 NATO headspace gauges for GO and 12 for NO-GO for different firearms and different reasons. Which one do you take ?

What should the 2A headspace be and whereabouts on the neck should it be measured ?

On the subject of Ethiopia, RTI were selling 'bargain basement' Ishapore rifles that they appear to have sourced from a 'scrap heap' in Ethiopia

I was wondering the same thing re head spacing. I have to say (rightly or wrongly) I've always had my doubts about the strength of the 2A1 action and 7.62x51.

I know the steel is changed, but still, dimensionally, it's a No1 and the somewhat
slim sidewalls of the action body would trouble me, I have my doubts...
