I am familiar with two of the Cetme discussion groups, but I know this topic has been discussed here as well. I am new to rifles and new to Cetmes. I know that you check headspace on the Cetme by checking the bolt gap with feeler gauges. I know the proper range of this gap and my rifle falls within that range, but it has a ground bolt head. And yet I am unsure of the relationship between bolt gap and head space. Does larger bolt gap mean less headspace or more headspace? I take it that the danger is that there is too much headspace and so the case is unsupported and could burst. Right or wrong? Grinding the bolt head is supposed to give a false reading of larger bolt gap, but does this mean that headspace might be unsafe?
