Gentlemen:

I would like to get a field gauge to check headspace on my Springfields and Garands.

How do I do this? I recollect that using a gauge to check headspace on a Mauser requires taking out the firing pin. Are Springfields checked the same way? And what else do I need to do?

Any information or comments would be appreciated.
