Hey, I was headspacing a just bought Mosin nagant. Now, I have a bolt without an extractor, and a 'new' one WITH an extractor from buymilsurp. (don't ask why...)
I headspaced the mosin with the extractorless bolt with this type of gauge that I bought off of eBay:
The bolt closed easily on all three gauges... and I was not a happy camper....
Then I decided to give it another go, and try again using okie gauges (below), and the mosin passed the no-go test with both bolts.
I'm probably asking a dumb question, but which gauge should I trust!?!??
P.S. The mosin is imported from CAI, if that matters, I've heard that, contrary to their gun builds, their headspacing QC is pretty good
