I see the graphic showing the rim, but where is the decimal value of the headspace???
Oh! The X with a circle!!! *.050" min - .070" max*??? They're showing that as inclusive of the rim...Which is .039" to .050"...so headspace would actually be .011" to .020"...As I read their document...
That's more like it...
The Colt Gov't Model does not index on the rim...The barrel hood would interfere...If you check my pics, you'll notice I cut the chamber before milling the liner away around the hood...because I knew that would knock the reamer off center if I cut the liner away first...
If I'm reading the 7.65 Luger PDF correctly, that headspace is .007" - .010"...
