The real question is why don't you have one

2019-02-18 22:26:09 UTC  

^^^^

Alright serious question to guys building their own AK’s. what gauges do you use generally? Headspacing Gauge only or do you use no go gauge also?

2019-02-18 22:27:30 UTC  

might as well get all of them if you plan to do more builds

2019-02-18 22:27:36 UTC  

Field gauge too?

2019-02-18 22:27:39 UTC  

sure

2019-02-18 22:27:45 UTC  

I used two methods

2019-02-18 22:28:03 UTC  

go/ no go and the tape method

2019-02-18 22:28:45 UTC  

🤔

2019-02-18 22:28:48 UTC  

Mhmm

2019-02-18 22:31:24 UTC  

basically, if you really had to check headspace, you could use feeler gauge in X thickness

2019-02-18 22:31:57 UTC  

very field expedient method

2019-02-18 22:32:13 UTC  

verify with actual gauges

2019-02-18 22:34:40 UTC  

or tape, provided you verify the thickness of the tape

2019-02-26 20:13:16 UTC  

ehhh

2019-02-27 01:32:21 UTC  

lol

2019-02-27 01:33:03 UTC  

You do recognize that most bottleneck cartridges headspace off the shoulder, right?

2019-02-27 01:33:24 UTC  

Trying to do that with feeler gauged is totally wrong

2019-02-27 03:47:14 UTC  

hey, I'm not the one who came up with it

2019-02-27 03:50:22 UTC  

and I did emphasize field expedient and urge him to get the actual gauges

2019-02-27 03:51:49 UTC  

feeler gauge, tape, shim stock

2019-02-27 03:55:08 UTC  

not as bad as those idiots at CSSpecs who thought thermodynamics in a Century VSKA chamber only work in one direction

2019-02-27 03:56:17 UTC  

in short, can you check headspace with this method? yes

2019-02-27 03:56:29 UTC  

should you set headspace with this method? no

2019-02-27 11:41:19 UTC  

Recommending questionable field expedient methods to check something that could blow someone's hands off is irresponsible.

2019-02-27 11:41:52 UTC  

These are little explosions going on a few inches from our faces. If headspace is a question, this is not something to half-ass

2019-02-27 15:03:55 UTC  

Get off your high horse, Runes, you're blowing this out of proportion.

2019-02-27 15:06:47 UTC  

bad advice is bad advice

2019-02-27 16:41:45 UTC  

Time to go into debt for a 3D printer

2019-02-27 16:44:11 UTC  

Just download the plans like the rest of us

2019-02-27 18:07:48 UTC  

Awesome, now I just need the mythical do/k/ument

2019-02-27 18:08:16 UTC  

I lost my copy RIP

2019-02-27 18:08:29 UTC  

lolgay

2019-02-27 18:08:43 UTC  

I was going to cite the ar/k/ on my research paper for making machineguns

2019-02-27 18:08:48 UTC  

And zip gund

2019-02-27 18:08:49 UTC  

Guns

2019-02-27 18:09:08 UTC  

I can probably get a copy off TPB but I need not-shit torrent software

2019-02-27 18:09:34 UTC  

@Sadmin where is your copy?

2019-02-27 18:13:51 UTC  

On a hard drive in a vacuum sealed bag in a box that I've buried.

2019-02-27 18:23:30 UTC  

Nice
