The Forster Headspace Gage for 7.62 NATO delivers precise minimum chamber measurement to ensure your rifle operates safely and accurately. Manufactured from top-quality, hardened steel, this single field gauge is an essential tool for serious gunsmiths and reloaders. 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 and impair accuracy.
Forster Headspace Gages are made with meticulous care and exacting manufacturing standards to deliver specifications precise to within .0003″ tolerance. If a rifle closes on a GO gage, the rifle chamber will accept any ammunition that is made within S.A.A.M.I. (industry standard) specifications. This allows you to verify that a newly-reamed chamber is tight and accurate before firing. Note that the 7.62 NATO Headspace Gages do not conform to SAAMI tolerances—they are designed specifically for military NATO chamber specifications.
For any gunsmith or armorer working with military firearms in these calibers, these NATO Headspace Gages can make a huge difference in both performance and safety. The gauge is compact and built to last, making it an indispensable addition to your gunsmithing toolkit.
