An inherited 20's Commercial - too little headspace?

Just to be on the safe side, hold the gun well away from your face and body for the first couple of shots. Better still, find cover and fire the gun around a barrier with your body and face protected. Ideal would be a ramsom rest with a remote triggering system.

Not paranoid, just have seen too many things happen.

Sounds like great advice to me. Will do.

The ammo came today and it fits well. The bolt isn't forcing it into the chamber and it's closing all the way. I have to assume that the gauge is long.

I bought a couple of magazines with wood bases from cheaperthandirt when I got the ammo. Was that a bad move? Correct ones appear to be about $150 and I just don't have the pennies to spend on it right now.

Next up, the range.

Thanks for the help everyone.
