Re: new complete BCG

technically you should use go/no go guages to check headspace. that being said, probably a 99+% chance it will be just fine. that advice costs you nothing, and you get what you pay for!!!

You have to realize that those manuals are meant for the average boot soldier. Your average boot on the ground should have no business changing out BCG's. Doesn't mean it couldn't be done.
