Understanding Head Space On An AR-15

Tom McHale writing at Ammoland gives us a good rundown of what head space means and how to check it. I won’t copy and past his prose because that would be bad form. Visit Ammoland and read Tom’s piece. But I will lift one of the videos and embed it here.

New AR platforms directly from Rock River, or other quality manufacturer, does not need to be checked by the buyer, already done.
I fully agree buying from gun shows, pawn shops, or mixing barrels and bolts from different manufactures will always necessitate use of head space gauges.
Also, smoking causes cancer, don’t run with scissors, don’t drink and drive, ignore sound advise at your own peril.

@Duke,
Right. Any quality gun maker is going to ensure all of this. It’s only when you would buy something like a BCG that wasn’t the same manufacturer.
