[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1318911, member: 24284"] Of course mistakes happen, but excessive headspace is one mistake that should never leave a gunsmiths' shop. A person that can not stay within .004" (I'm thinking 1.630" GO to 1.634" NO-GO, FIELD would be 1.640") on chamber depth is NOT a gunsmith. That term/title "gunsmith" gets thrown around quit liberally these days. Just because a person has a lathe and a chamber reamer doesn't make him a "gunsmith". Take it back to where it was made. He should have no problem allowing you to watch as he gauges the headspace on the rifle. [/QUOTE]
