Headspace...

[Peter Laidler]

I just can't understand for the life of me why the question of Lee Enfield Rifle headspace comes up time and time again, month after month, with monotonous regularity........... And every time it does, every Armourer here sits exasperated............ It is .064" GO and .074" NO-GO. Those are the measurements given by the developers, the designers and the manufacturers of the rifles plus the developers, designers and manufacturers of the ammunition. It is recorded FACT and has been for 100 years now. How difficult can it be? Anything else from Oakie or Forster or Uncle Tom Cobbley, Ford, MG or VW et-al is wrong or just a sales ploy to get you to buy their super-dooper 'false' gauges.

Here's a challenge.......... Does anyone disagree with that?

I apologize... I'll refrain from asking questions or attempting to expand my knowledge about areas I'm lacking in from now on.
