I will look into getting some headspace gauges if there are further problems. Do you suggest GO, NO-GO, and FIELD gauges? MidwayUSA looks like they have Forster gauges at a good price.
Thanks to everyone for your help.
Unless you are mounting barrels you won't need a GO gauge.
I use only the FIELD gauges on my old military rifles as it tells me everything I need to know.
On my AR's I use only the NO-GO gauge. Once the bolt closes on it, many thousands of rounds
from now, I will probably be looking to replace the barrel for other reasons anyway.
You have received a good amount of advice from the folks here. Any and all of it is worth consideration.
Check your PM's for a little bit more.
Kind Regards,
