    Mismatched bolt on 1922M1

    What are the odds of a headspace problem? Bolt is about 30 digits "off" from receiver. How much does this "hurt" value, roughly speaking--25%? 50%?

    maybe 25% on the value,

    doubtful there will be a headspace issue ,

      Isn't a big, expensive, deal to check headspace on a .22. If your smithy doesn't have 'em, you can rent headspace gauges for $7 per day. Buying 'em is kind of pricey at around $45 each.

      In any case, .22 LR headspace issues are unlikely to give you the kind of headache, say a .303 Brit will.
      Value will depend a lot on the condition of the rest of the thing.

        If you have to buy the rifle first, it is.

          Checking the headspace is not.

            Can a reasonably accurate headspace determination be made by using a known value piece of shim stock attached to a .22 case similar to doing that type of measurement on a centerfire piece? Only a field expedient substitute for an actual gauge. Jim
