Headspace checks
Hello,
I have been having an issue with checking headspace on my Colt Trooper barrel (removed) and my new BA "Hanson" 16" barrel that I installed in the Colt. I bought a set of Clymer "Go/No Go" (223 Rem) gauges from Brownells and removed the bolt ejector to test. The Go and No-Go gauges fully seat on the Ballistic Advantage with the bolt installed in the Colt BCG. Since the Colt barrel is removed I can just use the bolt to check the fit. Both gauges go in an will turn, my understanding is that the No-Go should not turn?. Does this mean that both barrels are out of spec, or is the Colt bolt? Or is the 5.56 chambers the reason the gauges both fully seat, and/or turn? Sorry for having to ask such rookie questions but this is my first barrel change.
Thanks,
John
