This video demonstrates how to measure headspace on a bolt-action rifle, a crucial aspect of firearm safety. Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, uses a Mauser 98 as an example. The process involves removing the bolt and extractor, then using Go and No-Go gauges to check if the chamber has the correct amount of headspace. The video emphasizes that if the bolt closes completely on a No-Go gauge, the headspace is excessive and the firearm should not be fired. It highlights the importance of proper tools and procedures for this gunsmithing task.
