[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1318704, member: 2736"] A No Go gauge is .006 to .008 longer than the SAMME GO Gauge and is supposed to tell you that you have to much headspace. To Much head space will cause many problems and a chamber that will except a No Go gauge should not be fired. In the military, the no go gauge is called a field gauge and identifies a weapon that should be taken out of service. Did you hurt your chamber ? No. as long as you did not force the bolt closed. Is it chambered wrong ? If you have the right gauge YES. The correct head space should be .0005 to .003 and possibly as much as .006 0r .007 As long as the no go gauge will not allow the bolt to close it can be safely used. Precision head space is normally .0005 to .0015 for best accuracy and brass life. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
