Am I lookin at this correctly?

Been shooting the B14R heavy and just finally got around to measuring headspace.
Made up a simple tool to measure rim thickness. It’s just a piece of round aluminum stock with a .228” hole. It fits perfectly in the Stoney Point adapter.

After installing on my caliper and zeroing I used a fired case to produce the measurement shown. Am I correct in thinking this is showing a .046 headspace?

Here is a unfired SKRM.

That would indicate .004 “slop” in the headspace, correct?
I see quite a few reference .043 as a good headspace measurement so if I shim the bolt .003 it should put me in a sweet spot.

Good,... the American people do not need to know everything

The bulk can't stand the truth, stomach, or even grasp what it takes to keep what little we have left.

Firearms GA Precision Gladius 6.5CM $3850 (Defiance Tenacity, Manners T6A build)

GAP Gladius commissioned in 2022 as a 308, but sent back to GA for a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel in 2024.
Action has about 800 rounds on the odometer (550 factory Lapua 308, 250 factory Lapua 6.5CM)
NOTE: the 308 barrel is gone, sold last year.

GAP Gladius rifle with a lot of now discontinued parts options

(pre buy out) Defiance Tenacity Action. Some of the Cerakote has flaked off the bottom of the bolt handle and dings from the ejected brass.

Manners T6A elite stock with LOP spacer system (currently 14.25") in Elite SWAMP. Action is pillar bedded with Hawkins M5 SA bottom metal. Wiebad Cheek pad on the KMW adjustable cheek piece. Front pic rail and left, bottom swivel studs

GAP Gladius #6 Bartlein 18: 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. 5R rifle 1:7.75" twist. 5/8x24" thread. Again, no more than 250 rounds max on this barrel of mostly Lapua factory and a few Federal GMM

Cadex DX2 Evo trigger with curved shoe. These are convertible to single or two stage. Currently 2-stage 2lbs and is by far my favorite 2 stage I have used to date.


This thing has been an absolute laser with 136gr Lapua scenars with groups as small as 3/8 MOA. It's done well with 130gr Fed GMM but it REALLY liked the factory Lapua ammo. That said, I'm all out of that ammo and don't reload so someone else can do this thing justice.

Asking $3850 shipped to FFL with all mags and action wrench
I'm not interested in any trades. Discreet Paypal, Zelle, Cashier's/certified check

Optics USO MST-100 USMC Sniper Scope, $3150

I just sold my GAP M40A1 and the buyer didn't want the MST-100 (MST100) 10x scope that was on it. The scope was part of a USO production run for GAP and Sniper's Paradise and has the special serial number GASP 00. I bought it from the owner of the Sniper's Paradise website and it's been back to USO once to lubricate the turret detents. I have the original box, objective "wrench", but no scope rings or mount - they went with the M40A1.

Price is $3150 shipped, PPF&F, personal or bank check. Comes with original box, MST objective wrench, and Butler Creek covers.

Send me a PM if you have questions.

Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

I've been running my equipment through the mud [literally] and learning what works well in rough conditions and for longer brisk movements. The gear that's available now is lightyears beyond what was available to me in the military in usability and in comfort.

I've currently refined my comp setup and general grab-and-go rig to:
HST Micro chest rig,
Alonzo Def web belt,
mid rid T-rex holster,
Esstac dbl pistol mag pouch,
Esstac single AR mag pouch,
AR with P4Xi 1-4 and Blue Force padded sling,
and a Glock.

What have you refined you Run-N-Gun kit too based on what you've learned?

Anybody run one of those "biathlon slings" on your rifles? If so, what is your general opinion of them, particularly with regards to running comfort?

Cheers!
