Best Answer

A "Go" headspace gauge is used to verify that the chamber of a firearm is large enough to accept correctly sized ammunition. When a "Go" gauge is chambered in a firearm, the action should close normally, with no unusual force.

That is only half of the information needed to verify the headspace is correct, however. To verify that a firearm is safe, both a "Go" and a "No Go" gauge must be used.

The "No Go" gauge is slightly larger (usually about 8/1000 of an inch), and is used to verify that the chamber is not too large for the correct ammunition. If the action closes on a "No Go" gauge, the headspace is too large, and it may be dangerous to fire the weapon.

How do you perform headspace and timing on a 50 cal?

Are you talking about a browning model M-2 heavy barrel machine gun?If you are these machine guns were issued with a timimg and headspace set of gauges that were used to set the correct head space and timimg.I would start with screwing the barrel all the way into the receiver.Then turn the barrel back out 2 clicks.Then by using the operating handle on the side of the reciever,pull back enough to insert the head space gauge with the no go end in first between the breach block and the reciever and let the breach block go forward.Then press down on the butterfly trigger on the end on the reciever and see if you here a click of the firing pin releaseIf it does not repull the breach block open and invert the gauge with the go end inserted and try the steps again.If the firing pin releases then you have the proper headspace.If it does not then you will have to turn the barrel out 1 more click and repeat the steps mentioned.If the headspace is set properly then you can go on to the timing gauge and try the no-go end of the gauge first.If there is no click then invert this gauge and use the go end of the gauge and repeat the process.If you here a click of the firing pin going forward then you have the timing set.These steps should be followed or you will rupture the reciever block and it is possable to kill the operator of the gun.I am recalling this from 38 years ago as i was assigned a browning m-2 heavy barrel when I was in the marine corp.


How do you head space a browning m2hb machine gun?

To headspace a Browning M2HB machine gun, follow these steps: Ensure the gun is unloaded and the bolt is in the forward position. Use a headspace gauge to check the headspace. Insert the gauge into the chamber and ensure it fits properly. If the gauge does not fit, adjust the headspace by either adding or removing shims from the barrel extension until the gauge fits correctly. Repeat the process until the proper headspace is achieved. Proper headspace ensures safe operation and reliable function of the firearm.

What is the importance of headspace in canned products?

The importance of headspace is to regulate the can damage. If the headspace is too great, more space will be expose to microrganisms that will result to poor vacuum packing. Otherwise, if the headspace is too short, the cover will bulge because the product will expand during retorting process. -William dela cruz- xanthouz163@yahoo.com msu-gensan, general Santos city, Philippines
