HEADSPACE QUESTION ON G-1 WITH HESSE RECEIVER

[jim6625]

AS A NEW MEMBER I NEED SOME FEED BACK ON A PROBLEM. I RECENTLY ALMOST FINISHED BUILDING OF MY LONG AWAITED G-1 FAL KIT FROM TAPCO. THE USUAL PARTS FITTING. AS WHOLE THE PARTS WENT IN WITH NO MAJOR PROBLEMS. UNTIL IT CAME TO THE HEADSPACING. WELL WITH ( 2) PREVIOUS BUILDS ONE STG-58 ON A IMBEL AND ONE L1A1 ON A HESSE. I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE HESSE UNIT ANOTHER TRY. PREVIOUS RECEIVERS LOCKING SHOULDERS CAME IN AT .262 AND .268 . THE KIT CAME WITH A .262 SO I GO TOO SET THE HEADSPACE STICK MY .262 GAUGE PIN WON'T CLOSE ON A GO GAUGE. LONG STORY SHORT WENT DOWN TO A .253 STIL NO GO ON A GO.WELL THAT WAS MY SMALLEST PIN SIZE IN MY COLLECTION. RESORTED TO CUSTOM SIZING A PIN IN THE CLOSE POSITION AND CAME UP WITH CLOSE ON A GO. TOO MY SURPISE A .203 . NOW MY QUESTION? IS THIS TO EXTREME FOR A LOCKING SHOULDER AND ARE THERE ANY SAFETY ISSUES HERE. OPTION AND ADVISE NEEDED. [QUOTE [/QUOTE] JILLIDGE@PRODIGY.NET
