Hi,
I am building an AR-15 from ground up. It is more along the lines of a budget build though.
The barrel is AR-Stoner/ESS from Midwayusa.com and the bolt is PSA M-16 Full auto MPI mil spec.
My question is, do I need to do a head space check with the barrel and bolt combination? I hear some people don't as the barrel extension already sets the head space.
If I need to check it, is this easier to do before the barrel is installed or after? If I need to check it, any place local to rent Go/No Go gauges?
What have you builders done?
Thanks.
