Forster .22 Rimfire NO GO Headspace Gage
Proper headspace measurement is fundamental to safe and accurate rifle performance. The distance between the breech face and the cartridge base when the action is closed directly affects both safety and accuracy. Excessive headspace creates dangerous conditions—unsupported brass can rupture under firing, allowing high-pressure gas to escape rearward with potentially catastrophic results.
Why Headspace Matters
Headspace gages are the gunsmith's most reliable tool for chamber verification. This NO GO gage helps identify chambers that may have excessive headspace and require correction.
How to Use This Gage
- GO Gage: If your rifle closes on a GO gage, the chamber accepts ammunition within S.A.A.M.I. (industry standard) specifications
- NO GO Gage: If your rifle closes on a NO GO gage, the chamber may have excessive headspace requiring attention
- Field Gage: If your rifle closes on a field gage, the chamber is dangerously close to or exceeds S.A.A.M.I. maximum specifications
Most gunsmiths chamber rifles with headspace between GO and NO GO dimensions for optimal safety and performance.
