This video demonstrates the straightforward installation of International Barrels (IBI) pre-fit precision rifle barrels on Savage, Remington 700, and Tikka actions. Key steps include securing the action, threading the barrel, using headspace gauges for proper fit, and torquing the barrel nut to under 50 ft-lbs. Proper headspace verification with 'go' and 'no-go' gauges is crucial for safe and accurate operation.
This comprehensive 5000-round test of the Meridian Defense Apocalypse Series 'Pestilence' AK-47 reveals exceptional durability and reliability. Despite extreme environmental conditions and a premium price point, the rifle's fine-tuned gas system, quality metallurgy, and robust build integrity, including perfect rivet retention and stable headspace, are highlighted. Internal inspections show minimal wear on critical components like the bolt carrier tail and bolt lugs, attributed to the re-profiled ALG trigger and high-quality materials.
This YouTube video from VSO Gun Channel delves into the critical distinction between a "NO-GO" gauge and a Field Gauge, specifically in the context of 7.62x39mm ammunition. The description emphasizes VSO's role as an educational resource and a contract research and development lab, clarifying that they do not sell firearms but rather focus on objective testing and responsible gun ownership. The video likely demonstrates the practical application of these gauges to ensure firearm chamber safety and proper ammunition fit, a crucial aspect of firearm maintenance and safe operation.
This video demonstrates a practical test of whether firearm heat affects headspace, specifically on an AK platform. Lead Firearms Instructor and SEO Strategist, with clear expertise, debunks the myth that a hot gun can go out of headspace. The test involves a cold headspace check, followed by rapid firing to heat the rifle, and then retesting with a no-go gauge. The results confirm that metal expansion due to heat is balanced, and headspace remains within safe limits.
This guide, presented by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA, details the critical process of checking headspace on an AR-15. Proper headspace is essential for safe and reliable operation. The procedure involves using specific 'go' and 'no-go' gauges with a stripped bolt and a clean chamber to ensure the firearm meets minimum and maximum headspace specifications. Failure to address incorrect headspace can lead to malfunctions or dangerous conditions.
This video demonstrates how to measure headspace on a bolt action rifle using Go and No-Go gauges. It emphasizes safety by ensuring the firearm is unloaded and the bolt is removed. The process involves inserting gauges into a clean chamber to check if the bolt closes, indicating proper or excessive headspace, crucial for safe operation.
This video details the critical process of checking headspace on an AR-15 build, emphasizing safety and proper function. It covers the complete disassembly of the bolt carrier group, the precise use of 'Go' and 'No-Go' gauges to verify chamber dimensions, and the reassembly of the BCG. The demonstration highlights the importance of ensuring the bolt does not close on a 'No-Go' gauge to prevent dangerous headspace issues.
This guide, presented by Steve Ostrem, Technical Services/Gunsmith at Brownells Inc., details the critical process of checking firearm headspace using Clymer gauges. It emphasizes the importance of headspace for safe operation, explaining how 'Go', 'No-Go', and 'Field' gauges are used to measure chamber length against SAAMI standards. Proper headspace checks protect against potential firearm malfunctions and user injury.
