A nuance here on that specific aspect (and yes I know this will touch off a firestorm so if we can keep it to that specific aspect)
If a bolt lug is worn and or the recess for the bolt lugs in the receiver are worn, is that headspace or is that separate?
Clearly a new rifle with a good bolt lugs and lug recess n the receiver (staying with a standard rifle) would have X headspace.
Worn lugs/recess would have X+ and obvious a changing situation until the lugs sheared.
I lean somewhat strongly its first a severe safety issue and a worn part issue that only incidental by definition is it headspace.
