Headspace gauges
Headspace gauges
I found this set of head space gauges for the 7.62x54r on Amazon for my 91/30. The set includes a Go, No Go, and Field tester.
My specific concern is that the description says you DONT need to remove the bolt head to complete the test..which would be less complex for a novice like me. Does anyone know anything about this particular head space tester and does anyone have concerns that the test might be inaccurate using the method which does not require the bolt head to be removed?

Thanks.. didn't see the ad. Do you know if they require the bolt head to be removed?

Re: Headspace gauges
No, they drop in the bolt face. The instruction are clear.

Re: Headspace gauges
Sartrean, you will be amazed how easy and accurate the Okie Headspace guages are. I would suggest checking with them for a package deal on the no-go and field guage. They come with simple instructions, and the instructions are on the website, but junk yard dog has a good video on using these. Welcome to RMNF.
Re: Headspace gauges
Thank you.. glad to be here. I will look for the video.

Re: Headspace gauges
As the others have said. No disassembly at all. Very fast and easy to use.

Re: Headspace gauges
The guy I got my first Mosin from used the Okie gauges right there. In the dark parking lot even. They look really easy to use. Probably should pick up a set myself.
