Good Set
I'm a first time builder and wanted to make sure that I was checking headspace simply because I am very new to this. The go and no-go gauges gave me the confidence in my build. It's expensive, but the peace-of-mind it gives was a good investment!

I have been waiting for Forster to come out with this product for a long time. This is a great product from a great company and Forster is number one in go- no go gauges.

Forster 5.56 Armorers Headspace Gauge Kit
These work perfect! Checked the Gauges for Accuracy against a know calibrated gauge and they measured perfect. No bolt disassembly required. These would be especially useful for an easy and quick check of a gun you might be interested in purchasing at a gun show, LGS or at a private sell.
