Most Helpful Positive Review Great product, would recommend
Starting 4th build and decided it's time to head-space all my AR's - new and old. I've never had any issues, but for the cost to know for sure you are withing spec, it's really something everyone who builds or swaps bolts, uppers, etc. should have (IMHO). Quality seems very good, packaging is great, they are labeled clearly and I would expect them to last a life time or longer - not many things fall into that category any more.

by Jrobe, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on June 11, 2024
I bought the .223 rem go,no go and field guages. They work well for my ar builds and seem to be good quality. Just make sure to read the instructions if you are new to byo like i am. I didnt know you had to remove the ejector and extractor for them to work correctly

perfect companion for the go guage

by slkzic, Verified Owner from ME, United States Written on December 14, 2023
Just used it last night to head space a new 22 Creedmoor barrel. Now I’m ready for some coyotes. Will probably get out to the range to break the barrel in next week sometime. Next purchase will be a thermal or NV scope.

Safety first!

by gene, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on October 27, 2023
The Forster Rimless Headspace Gage is a must if you are building a new weapon or checking a used one you are thinking about buying... It easily can fit in your pocket to bring with you or fit in a small parts drawer on your build bench... High quality and affordable.
