Mauser Head Spacing

You can check it yourself with headspace gauges from Brownells. The bolt should close on a go gauge and not close on a no-go. A field gauge is absolutely the longest headspace that is safe to shoot, but I prefer to play it safe and check it against a no-go. Here is a link to the gauges:

I have both the go and no-go gauges, and would be willing to check it for you if you're ever in the Athens area.

if you are on the other side Atlanta -Acworth, stop by the shop. I'll be glad to check it if you are on my side of town.
