[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 2352229, member: 3615"] I'd bet money that the issue CAR-AR-M16's buddy had was in no way related to the headspace of the rifle. I will concede that if the headspace of a particular barrel/bolt combo was well past whatever the field gauge measures there is the potential for having case failures. I am going to stand fairly firm in my belief that actual dangerous carnage will not result from a headspace issue. But I guess this is coming from the guy who loads 9mm to 1450 fps with 124gr bullets. I like to live dangerously. [/QUOTE]
