[QUOTE="TonyRumore, post: 2381754, member: 416"] Well....first off, most guys aren't "building" anything. They are simply "assembling" an AR from parts. Headspacing on an AR is done by the machinist that is machining the the barrel blank into a ready-to-assemble barrel. When first installing the barrel extention, the barrel is threaded and the distance from the bolt face to the barrel face is set. Usually around .006" on an AR. Then the barrel is chambered to set the headspace around .001-.002" off the go gauge. You're not headspacing anything during assembly, other than swappping out barrels and bolts and hoping for the best. Tony Rumore Tromix [/QUOTE]
