Hello,
Is it possible to check headspace using feeler gauges that have been cut out round to sit on the bolt face? I've cut a couple "round shims' and gradually added more thickness till I reached the point id have to remove the extractor, which was .010. At that thickness the bolt was able to close with a snug but not forceful turn. I'm sure I'll hear that I'm stupid for doing this I was unable to get behind the locking lugs to try that way. Any info or advice or for that matter anyone with a no-go gauge they could lend (at no cost to you of course and a token of appreciation). Any help would be appreciated.
Ps: I normally just suck it up & shoot most of these imports and visually inspect the brass but this one gave no resistance whatsoever I could feel on close.
