Forster Products manufactures precision headspace gauges to maximize safety and accuracy in your rifle. The 22-250 Remington No-Go Gauge (HG2225N) is an essential tool for gunsmiths and rifle enthusiasts who demand exacting chamber specifications. This NO-GO gauge corresponds to the maximum headspace recommended for gunsmiths’ chambering new bolt-action rifles, making it invaluable for quality control during barrel work or when evaluating used firearms.
Machined from A2 tool steel, these gauges are held to tolerances within 0.00015″ to ensure reliable chamber measurements. If a rifle closes on a NO-GO gauge, it may still be within SAAMI specifications, or it may have excessive headspace; to determine excessive headspace, the chamber should then be checked with a FIELD gauge. These gauges are necessary when finish chambering a barrel, or when checking the chamber of a used gun to be sure the headspace dimensions are within safe limits.
Headspace is the distance between the face of the breech and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed, and excessive headspace can be dangerous as well as impair accuracy; unsupported brass fired in a rifle action with excessive headspace can rupture, allowing gas to blow rearward. Because your safety is on the line, Forster Headspace Gages are made with painstaking care and exacting manufacturing standards to ensure accurate testing of your rifle’s chamber.
