Headspace | Are Surplus Rifles Safe? How to Check Headspace (DIY No-Go Gauge)Enfield Headspace

Think your old military surplus rifle is safe to shoot? Maybe not. After reading forums, manuals, and doing a lot of digging online, I realized how overlooked — and misunderstood — headspace really is. Whether you shoot a Lee-Enfield, a Mosin, a Mauser, or any other old bolt-action, this is something you need to know. In this video, I show you how I built a DIY No-Go headspace gauge for the .303 British cartridge using scrap steel — and why that matters if you shoot any rifle, especially Lee-Enfields like the No.1 Mk.III, No.4 Mk.I, or Jungle Carbine (No.5 Mk.I). ⚠️ What you’ll learn: What headspace is and why it matters for all rifles How rimmed cartridges like .303 British headspace differently Step-by-step: Making your own No-Go gauge at home Why shimming or backing out your bolt can be dangerous How to test lug contact using a Sharpie I’m not a gunsmith — just someone trying to shoot safely and share what I’ve learned. 🛠️ Subscribe for more WWII builds, reenactor gear, and smart DIY fixes. #leeenfield #surplusrifle #headspace #303british #gunsmithing #diytools #bravebuilds #no4mk1 #no1mk3 #junglecarbine #militarysurplus
