Abstract
A gauge for measuring the headspace dimension of a firearm chamber. The gauge includes a first member coupled to a second member in a telescopic fashion. The first and second members may be positioned in an open firearm chamber. With the firearm chamber subsequently closed, the first and second members are moved into a position that gives the actual headspace dimension and locked in that position. The gauge may then be removed from the chamber and measured to give the user the actual headspace dimension.

A gauge for measuring the headspace dimension of a firearm chamber, the gauge comprising:
- a first member coupled to a second member in a telescopic fashion, wherein the first and second members may be positioned in an open firearm chamber and, with the firearm chamber subsequently closed, capable of being moved to the actual headspace dimension and locked in position at a length equaling the actual headspace dimension, whereby the gauge may then be removed from the chamber and measured to give a user the actual headspace dimension.
A method for measuring the headspace dimension of a firearm chamber, the method comprising:
- coupling a first member to a second member in a telescopic fashion to form a gauge,
- with the first and second members positioned in a closed firearm chamber, moving the first and/or second members to the actual headspace dimension of the chamber,
- removing the gauge from the chamber, and
- measuring the gauge to give a user the actual headspace dimension.
