    Where to buy a field headspace gauge?

    I'm looking for a field headspace gauge that is .074. I ordered a Forster Field gauge, but it is .070 and I want one that is military spec .074.

    Forster will make you an .074 gauge if you ask them. Or, look here: http://www.arrowmark.com.au/gauges.aspx

      Cut a 1/2" circle from an aluminum beer can. Measure its thickness with an accurate caliper. It's probably .004" thick. (If not, drink a different brand and try again.) Apply it to your .070" gauge with a tiny dab of sticky grease. Violá - .074" gauge!

      If you're compelled to be more precise, spend $4 at Harbor Freight and cut a shim from the .004" feeler.
