[QUOTE="ARlife4me, post: 2852505, member: 105694"] I've never removed the ejector when headspacing and have done so without any issues afterwards. Maybe I just have the "feel" to it? When doing it on BA's with a barrel nut I have to either make sure the barrel and receiver don't move when tightening the nut or just give a little extra space as when tightening the nut the barrel snugs in and spaces correctly. I'm not a smith, but am a stickler for making sure it's safe! Like for AR's most think it's ok to change the bolt and headspace will remain as is. This is not true on 15's or 10's! I've assembled many in 5.56, 300bo, 6.5gren, 6.5creed, 260rem, 6.8spc, 243win and 308win AR's. With slight variance between mfgs and surface treatments not all are created equal! Some might get lucky not using gauges or just changing bolts. It's all fine until it's not! [/QUOTE]
