whats up every one I just got a wsar  rifle when I took it a part  to clean it  I found out the bolt had been switched out  and it dosent match. The rifle is used  the previous owner said it works fine but I dont trust it  my question is will a go gauge be fine to check the head space or do you have to use a go and a no go gauge. Thank you for any info.

I'm a bit confused about headspace gauging also.  There is some good information at the Brownells site, www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/GunTech/newsletterarchive.aspx, and I imagine elsewhere also.

The only gauge you need is a no go gauge. I would get one from here
www.mansonreamers.com/

If if locks up with under 25 pounds of force you need you have a problem.
