Forster Headspace Gage for .350 Legend
Proper headspace measurement is the foundation of safe rifle performance. The Forster Headspace Gage for .350 Legend is manufactured to exacting standards, giving you the precision and reliability that gunsmiths depend on.
Why Headspace Matters
Headspace is the distance between the breech face and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed. Excessive headspace creates serious safety risks:
- Brass rupture: Unsupported brass fired in a rifle with excessive headspace can rupture, allowing gas to escape rearward with dangerous force
- Accuracy degradation: Improper headspace directly impacts shot consistency and group size
- Chamber wear: Over time, excessive headspace accelerates wear and can render a barrel unsafe
How to Use This Gage
The Forster system uses three gages to evaluate your chamber:
- GO Gage: If your rifle closes on this gage, the chamber will safely accept all ammunition manufactured to S.A.A.M.I. (industry standard) specifications
- NO GO Gage: If your rifle closes on this gage, your chamber may have excessive headspace and requires further evaluation
- FIELD Gage: If your rifle closes on this gage, your chamber is dangerously close to or has exceeded S.A.A.M.I. maximum specifications
Most properly chambered rifles will close on the GO gage but not the NO GO gage—this is the ideal range.
Built for Precision
Forster manufactures these gages with painstaking care and exacting standards. Whether you're a professional gunsmith, a serious reloader, or a rifle builder, this gage delivers the accuracy you need to ensure your firearm is safe and reliable.
