[QUOTE="CadillacCowboy, post: 1319202, member: 101665"] Well, I had some brand new gauges and tools rush shipped and was able to properly check headspace. It is exactly as my initial test revealed. Close on a no go, no close on a no go plus scotch tape (calipers read .002" longer with tape). Obviously no close on a field, but I bought one and tried it for fun. Builder says it's not a big deal. Build sheet says "match chamber" and cut to "benchrest tolerances". Now I can't get the roll pin back in for the ejector. Not gonna beat it to death, so I stopped. Any suggestion on how to get it in? I have the Sinclair ejector tool a 1/16 punch and the bench block. The ejector slot was situated correctly. Not gonna take it to the same guy who messed it up the first time - he and I aren't seeing eye to eye right now. Other gunsmith options around here are non-existent, so I need to get the pin in myself and go on with life. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
