gauge allowed the bolts to close on both but it was not easy(some resistance)
i don't intend to fire these but could it be safe if i did. any info is appreciated as always.
Both rifles are probably good to go, but check the headspace with a field gauge. If the bolt doesn't close on the field gauge then it's within SAMMI specs and safe to fire. If the bolt closes on the field guage then it is outside of the maximum chamber size and not safe to fire.
