It's always been my understanding that the diameter of the freebore should be slightly larger than the diameter of the bore.

UPDATE: CLE sent the barrel back, and said that there’s nothing wrong with the barrel. In their defense, I was able to go through several bolts and finally found one that did headspace. However from my perspective there’s still a problem with the chamber as I don’t visually and functionally see...

PTG returned my call, and Dave uses an automotive lacquer to paint his headspace gauges.

Random question... Does anyone know what brand of paint Pacific Tool and Gauge uses on their headspace gauges?

Good news!!! Conrad replied to my email and sent a return shipping label. So far so good, and hopefully he will follow through.

Both the .223 and 5.56 NATO GO.

It was ordered at the beginning of January, and it was delivered on 02/03/23. And what information do you have on what's going on at CLE? Thanks.

Bingo!!!! There is none... It's a 16" Krieger barrel chambered in .223 Wylde by CLE. It failed my .223 Wylde chamber function gauge, it failed .223 headspace, and it failed 5.56 NATO headspace.

I'll lay down a hint. In a rifle chamber after the neck, what is to follow?
