Headspace

Can a 6BR go gauge be used to set headspace in a 30BR?
Any suggestions where to buy? I want to swap barrels on my Savage LRPV in 6BR to 30BR. Any info on barrel jam nut removal greatly appreciated.
 
Yes a 6br go gauge can be used for anything on a standard BR case...
PT&G sells them...
Just use a good barrel nut wrench for a Savage..
 
As preacher said, yes. Any case based on the BR except those that have had the shoulders blown forward like the 6BRX and 6Dashers.

I usually include the purchase of a go-gauge from PTG when ordering a new chambering reamer. Cost is approx. $27.

Put 2 layers of scotch tape ( some use shims) on the head of the gauge & you have created a No-Go.
 
Thanks very much. I want to buy a Savge 12, but I want it in 30BR so that's the plan and both of you helped with the game plan.
 
One last question.....everything I assume is right hand thread?
