HEADSPACE GAGE .223

HEADSPACE GAGE

The HEADSPACE GAGE is designed to protect your firearms from unnecessary damage and you, the shooter, from possible injury by showing whether or not the "headspace" of an action is within tolerance. Essentially, headspace is the distance between the face of the breech and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed. Accuracy and safety is threatened when there is excessive headspace.

Forster Headspace Gages are made with painstaking care to insure you accurate testing of the chamber. Each caliber Gage comes in "GO", "NO GO", and "FIELD". If an action will not accept a "GO" Gage, it will not accept cartridge cases of maximum length. If it accepts a "NO GO" Gage the action may have excessive headspace. If the action accepts a "FIELD" Gage, it should not be fired. Every firearms owner should have Forster Headspace Gages for safety and accuracy.
