[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3238083, member: 29267"] Probably is good to go. I believe it’s rare that anyone finds any problems when checking headspace, especially with parts from reputable brands, but mistakes do happen. If I’m going to make something explode inches from my face, I’m going to do everything within reason to make sure that explosion doesn’t blow my face off. Some guys will say “I’ve built dozens of ARs and never had a problem.” Sorry, that’s not a big enough sample size for me. Excessive headspace does contribute to kabooms, even if it’s rare. Checking headspace correctly on an AR is cheap and easy. Don’t take a chance. Do it. Or don’t. I don’t care. :D But I always do it for every new bolt and barrel combination. [/QUOTE]
