I"ve ask a few people with AR's if they headspace when replacing a bolt. I am talking about the entire bolt and carrier. Getting mixed answers. So I am asking, do you or do you just replace the bolt? I have always just rebuilt the bolt.

They lost me on "How to fix a scratch on an AR". Easy. Create another and you'll forget about the first.I would. Cheap insurance IMO.
Highly recommend visiting the Youtube channel... "School of the American Rifle."
Not sure if you're just being obtuse or what, I've never seen a video on scratches? However, there's a metric ton of knowledge on how to spec out an AR.They lost me on "How to fix a scratch on an AR". Easy. Create another and you'll forget about the first.
How is go / no-go confusing.Getting away with it or doing it properly...depends on which side of those you care to sit on.
There are plenty of internet ninjas who will swear by their preference as the way to do it.
Go and No-go are confusing terms -- use the "Field" gauge.
So 10% more than just a ton of knowledge?However, there's a metric ton of knowledge on how to spec out an AR.
A no go is a superfluous gauge for an AR. The field is the max gauge that matters on an AR and its bigger than a no-go. For that matter a go gauge is not really needed. Because the gun will either chamber a round or it won't. If it won't its obvious its too small.... You really only need a field gauge.How is go / no-go confusing.
You are checking min and max.
If you want to know exactly how much headspace you have (or if building to tight chamber spec..and by building I dont mean taking a pre-chambered barrel and extension and attaching to an upper) you need the set of gauges with much smaller increments (the sets with 0.001" increments)
