I didn't know that when I headspaced and after test firing, it settled enough to swallow the no go. Now that I've adjusted the headspace properly, I have the joy of reaming out the barrel pin hole and making a custom barrel pin. Also, don't force it or let the bolt close under spring pressure on a gauge. Hopefully someone can learn from my myriad mistakes on this journey!</blockquote>
