BudsGunShop.com - CETME head spacing
-
-
Hello. Please explain how to set the head space on the new receiver and barrel on a CETME rifle and what is the measurement for this spacing. Also, what is the easiest way to press the two together considering I don't have a heavy duty press. I read where you make one cold and heat the other. As far as the spot welding of the two, where and what type of welds. Thank you so much for your help. Easy "E".

Ernest, With an unground bolt head, and following the procedures for checking bolt gap described elsewhere, a gap of .005 to .019 gives safe headspace at the other end of the bolt. If you grind the bolt head to get a decent bolt gap, you have a false reading because the front of the bolt head does not extend as far towards the chamber. The proper gap reading indicates head space only if the bolt is normal length, about 1.835. ------ youtube.com/watch?v=MFESb8TK7ZA&feature=user
