[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1737670, member: 2736"] If you don't alter the recoil lug and just rotate it into the proper location, head space should not change. Just loosen the barrel enough to move the lug and re tighten. The head space should not change as long as you don't remove the lug and take a chance of turning it around. The correct action wrench holds the lug in place (Square) using the action screw for alignment. If it is not pined (Some actions use a pined lug and others use the wrench with the action screw for alignment) If you really want to know what head space you will end up with, A go gauge only cost $35.00 to $40.00 dollars and you can add shims to the back of the gauge to see exactly how much head space you have.
