Forster .308 Win No-Go Headspace Gage

Forster‘s .308 Win No-Go Headspace Gage (brand part no. HG0243N) checks one of the most common bolt-action and semi-auto chamberings for excessive headspace, an important check given how widely .308 Winchester rifles get rebarreled or built from surplus actions. The gauge measures 1.634 inches, and if a bolt closes on it, the chamber has been cut too long, which can be dangerous and can hurt accuracy. It’s a standard companion to Forster’s .308 Win Go gauge for any build or inspection.
