Why is this important? It seems to me that if a bolt doesn't close on a no go, and closes on a proper cartridge, then everything's kosher. Even if it's tight, and the bolt completely closes, what's the problem? Hell, this is what fire forming a case will get you every time. Obviously, if you have to hammer it closed, you are damaging the case, so I'm talking about a condition where the bolt closes on a cartridge with no resistance to light-moderate resistance. Am I missing a critical piece of the puzzle here? |
Go gauges are most important if you are rebarreling or working on the bolt. Mostly I use no-go and field gauges to check for excessive headspace resulting from extended use, such as surplus rifles. I don't have any go gauges for my C&R guns. |
