The Forster 222 Remington No-Go Gauge (brand part no. HG0222N) is a precision steel headspace gauge that checks for a 222 Remington chamber cut too deep during barrel fitting. Forster Products machines it to a fixed 1.297-inch length marking the upper edge of acceptable new-build headspace; if the bolt closes easily on this gauge, the chamber needs correction before the rifle is fired. Used with a go gauge, it brackets the safe headspace range for this benchrest-standard cartridge during custom chamber work. Add it to the rest of our gunsmithing tools and gunsmith supplies for precision rifle builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the bolt closes on this no-go gauge? It means the chamber was reamed too deep and needs correction before the rifle is safe for regular use.

How close are the go and no-go dimensions on this cartridge? Only a few thousandths of an inch apart, which is typical for a benchrest-oriented chambering and part of why precise gauging matters.
