Simple headspace check without headspace gages. Thanks!You shoot the thing like that they just might find what's left of your face over yonder in Mount Union. Or, does anyone have an 8mm field guage that I could use? Or, know where I can purchase one cheap? Any other suggestions or feedback is welcome. I'm tempted to fire the rifle and just inspect the spent case for damage. I can purchase a field guage in 8mm for about $30, but I'm reluctant to sink more money into this.

I also checked with a shop who does machining and found that it would cost at least $125 to correct the headspace issue.Īt this point I am unsure how to proceed.
I check with a few other local shops and inquired if they use the field guage to check headspace, and no one does. When I asked the gunsmith if he had used the field guage, he said he was trained that if the bolt closed on the no-go, it is not safe to fire. I had researched enough to know that these old military rifles should be checked with a field guage as well. I took the gun to a local shop that charged me $26 and took 2 days to tell me that the bolt closed on the no-go guage-and my rifle is not safe to fire.
I thought I would have the headspace checked before firing the rifle due to the issues I had read about headspace in these old Turks. I recently aquired a model 1938 Turkish Mauser in a trade from another member.
