Special Features

  • 30 CARBINE: Use to check headspace of 30 Carbine
  • RIMLESS CARTRIDGE HEADSPACE: The proper use of Headspace Gages is the most reliable way to test rifle chamber length. Headspace in a rimless cartridge is the distance between the bolt face and a datum line, determined by SAAMI, where the front of the cartridge rests on its shoulder when the bolt is closed.
  • GO: Corresponds to the minimum chamber dimensions. If a rifle closes on a GO gage, the chamber will accept ammunition that is made to SAAMI maximum specifications. The GO gage is essential for checking a newly-reamed chamber in order to ensure a tight, accurate, and safe chamber that will accept SAAMI maximum ammo.
  • NO-GO: Corresponds to the maximum headspace we recommend for gunsmiths' chambering new bolt-action rifles. This is not a SAAMI-maximum measurement. If a rifle closes on a NO-GO Gauge, it may still be within SAAMI specifications, or it may have excessive headspace. To determine if there is excessive headspace, the chamber should then be checked with a FIELD Gauge. The NO-GO Gauge is a valuable tool for gunsmiths' reaming new chambers, in order to ensure tight and accurate headspace
  • FIELD: FIELD Gauges are slightly shorter than the SAAMI maximum in order to give a small safety margin. If a rifle closes on a FIELD Gauge, its chamber is dangerously close to, or longer than, SAAMI-specified maximum chamber size. If chamber headspace is excessive, the gun should be taken out of service until it has been inspected and repaired by a competent gunsmith.

Description

The Forster Headspace Gage is designed to ensure accurate testing of chamber headspace. Headspace is the distance between the face of the breech and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed. Safety and accuracy are threatened when excessive headspace exists. Perfect for checking the headspace on your M1 Carbine or any other chambered in .30 Carbine.
