Forster Headspace Gage, .30-06, No-Go, 2.055 Inch

The Forster Headspace Gage for .30-06, No-Go length, 2.055 inches (Forster part no. HG3006N) gives gunsmiths and handloaders a reliable way to test rifle chamber length. Headspace is the distance between the breech face and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed, and excessive headspace is a genuine safety concern: unsupported brass fired in an over-length chamber can rupture, sending gas blasting rearward. Because that safety margin is on the line, Forster machines this gage with painstaking care and exacting tolerances to give an accurate No-Go reading on your .30-06 chamber.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does excessive headspace risk? Excessive headspace can let unsupported brass rupture when fired, sending gas blasting rearward, which is a genuine safety hazard along with reduced accuracy.

What does a No-Go gage tell me? If the bolt closes on a No-Go gage, it’s a signal that headspace may be excessive and the chamber should be checked further by a gunsmith.

Is this something a home reloader should own, or just a gunsmith? Many handloaders keep one on hand when working with a rifle of unknown chamber history, though a gunsmith can also perform this check as part of a inspection.
