The Forster 222 Remington Go Gauge (brand part no. HG0222G) is a precision steel headspace gauge sized for the 222 Remington, a longtime benchrest and varmint cartridge known for tight accuracy standards. Forster Products machines it to a fixed 1.294-inch length representing the minimum acceptable headspace; the bolt should close freely on this gauge in a properly finished chamber. It pairs with a no-go gauge as the standard check used during a new build, rebarrel, or gunsmith verification. Keep it with the rest of our gunsmithing tools and gunsmith supplies for precision rifle work.
