Catch-22 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I see a Lee Enfield No.4 in my future, so bought some headspace gauges from Tectal.AT last week. Came this morning. https://www.tectal.at/en/lee-enfield.303-british/25/headspace-gauge-set.303-british?c=28 Box comes with Go, No-Go and Field gauges. Gauges come coated in oil to protect the steel. Very nicely made on CNC machines to original military spec, not SAAMI. Has anyone else used these before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borbal Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Why are you wanting a set of headspace gauges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi Geoff, Its really some piece of mind. I’m likely to go to auction and so before I shoot it, want to double check if it’s got excessive headspace or not. Will allow me to decide if it’s ok, requires a rebarrel or maybe just a different bolt head. I also figured the gauges would help me choose the right brand of brass to use, as different brands come with different rim thicknesses.
