Forster 7.62x39mm SAAMI No-Go Rimless Headspace Gauge

Forster Products Headspace Gage NO GO Features The Forster Headspace Gage NO GO provides a reliable way to verify that a 7.62x39 rifle s chamber headspace falls within safe tolerances. Headspace is the distance between the breech face and the base of a chambered cartridge and excessive headspace can be dangerous potentially allowing gas to escape rearward if a case ruptures under pressure. Forster manufactures its headspace gages with painstaking care and exacting tolerances since the accuracy of this tool directly affects shooter safety. If a rifle closes on a GO gage its chamber will safely accept ammunition made to SAAMI specifications. If instead a rifle closes on this NOGO gage it signals that the chamber may have developed excessive headspace and warrants further inspection by a qualified gunsmith. Most gunsmiths aim to chamber a rifle s headspace somewhere between the GO and NOGO dimensions for safe reliable function. A third gage type the FIELD gage indicates a chamber dangerously close to or beyond the SAAMI maximum a step beyond what this NOGO gage measures. For gunsmiths and reloaders working with 7.62x39 rifles the Forster Headspace Gage NO GO is an essential tool for verifying safe chamber dimensions.
