Typically a new bolt with new barrel shouldn't give you any problems, but it's always good to be safe.

Check it before fireing for cheap peace of mind.

The book answer is to always check headspace when the barrel or bolt is replaced.

Plenty of people around here don't and we don't hear about exploding ARs killing them. OTOH, if they are dead, they aren't posting on afrcom.

Check your hometown forum for people local to you. I'd bet someone in your area will check your headspace for you in exchange for a beer.
