It's that what you're looking for with a field gauge?

Yes, the field gauge, or the No/go. Any resistance on the bolt closing no matter how light is a pass. Never force a bolt down on a gauge. You are good to go with the headspace.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Tests will only give you a rough idea that things are OK, but only by shooting it will you know it's habits.

Hold on tight, you're in for a great ride! These rifles are absolutely and literally a blast to shoot.

I haven't found a gun that wasn't fun to shoot! I also found motivation to get a Tula. A co worker of mine lived there for 5 years and told me the armory is "much better" than the Izhevsk ;)
