    Headspace Check in Fairfield Area?

    I have a Mega 18" .308 Barrel w/CMMG BCG and a Rainier Arms Ultramatch SPR .223 Wylde Barrel w/Young Manufacturing BCG that I would like the headspace checked and was wondering if there is anyone in the Fairfield area that can do this with just the barrel and BCG's?

    I am new to building AR's and was under the impression that most barrels are already headspaced before shipment but have seen a few threads as of late that have me concerned and I would rather be safe than sorry as I have to much money invested in these items to have something happen.

    I know Randall/AR15barrels can do this but I would prefer not to ship and he currently has about a 3 week backlog but if that is my best option that is what I will do I simply want it done right.

    Here are examples of the information I have read previously. So who si correct? All my barrels and BCG's are brand new

      Go/no guages.

      Shop gunsmithing tools (595) at Brownells, including bench blocks, hammer & punch sets, screwdrivers, and tool kits for firearm maintenance and repairs.

          You can buy the $30 ones on Amazon. They work just as good. And it's always good to have for your future builds. I have all the tools to build an AR, but I don't have any headspace guages. I've built 3 AR's with quality barrels, uppers and BCG so never checked headspace. They haven't blown up on me....yet....

            I also have all the tools needed to build AR's with the exception of headspace gauges as all research prior to purchasing all my parts and tools is that the barrels should already be headspaced correctly, and most likely they are because they are name branded items but I simply want to be sure as there is way to much money invested to take a chance. And even buying the ones Amazon may sell is more than it will cost me to send my stuff to Randall. I was hoping someone in my area has them and might be able to help me out.

                Yep I can wait no trouble at all. I can come to you whenever is convenient for you. You can do both barrels correct?

                I really appreciate this.
