Well men, and ladies.......Doc stopped by again this afternoon and brought a real nice specimen. An early Armscorp with serial # 16XXX and it needed the magic touch and going over, just for safety sake, and his peace of mind.....this ,because the last two early Armscorp rifles he brought over had tight headspace, so we decided to check every rifle he owns.....wow, what a can of worms I opened...my idea....ha ha ha.....I love it though.
Back to the inquiry...I need to know how many of you have all G.I. parts Armscorp rifles with G.I. barrels, and if you know the headspace, what it is , especially with the TRW barrels.
Out of his first three, all TRW rifles with TRW barrels and TRW bolts, the headspace was :
1st one- 1.630
2nd one- 1.628
3rd one- 1.630
I must note also that all bolts were in spec.
If you do own one of these Armscorp rifles as described above, it might be a very good idea to have your headspace checked. Actually, anyone that doesn't know their rifles headspace, is playing Russian Roulette.
Post em if you got and please help me figure if this is an anomaly or the usual for Armscorp. Also if you had one and found tight headspace previously, thanks,... rip.
