The Play? "Much Ado Over Nothing' The author? William Shakespear. The New version? Can't check chamber on factory gun without headspace gauge : by 1911 Tuner.
Guess what?
Inserted in the Chamber of the factory Norinco barrel. Jose' can you see?
Guess what that is beside the Chamber Go Gauge? Is it an Empty Case?
Or Dear! It tells me the same exact thing that the Go Gauge does.
I used an empty fired case from that gun so you people who are paranoid about the way that I do things in the shop would not be scared. I have used my method for over 50 years to make sure a barrel was not defective or that some idiot had reamed it too deep with a chamber reamer. I have built guns with NM barrels for 20 years without any problem at all. As a Professional Pistolsmith I have had great success in not blowing up any guns from a gunshow, because I do not buy guns at gunshows. I have yet to have a headspace problem with any 1911 in any caliber and that includes 10mm Centaur, 400 Cor-Bon, 38 Super, 9mm, and of course, 45 ACP. I wonder why Ed Brown, Bill Wilson, Fred Kart, Irv Barstow, and other barrel makers never mention chamber check gauges? Maybe some folks read too much! None of my Pistolsmith pals use them either. I will ask them all at The Shot Show why they are so bold as to make these barrels and sell them without including these Go and No Go Gauges. I will reoprt back later and tell you what they say about this matter.
