So I have a mid 80's Savage 110, 7mm Remington Mag. Recently rebarreled it with an e.s shaw ss mag barrel. When I installed the new barrel I checked the headspace multiple times as I was resembling the rifle. Tightened the barrel nut down pretty darn tight and go guage locked down. Torquing barrel down, checked "go" and "no-go" gauge all was good. Put stock back on and put rifle away. Next morning, went to test fire and figured I would run the head space gauges again, well to my surprise when I tried the "go" gauge, the bolt would almost completely close but wouldn't lock down... Tried to cycle a few rounds with out firing and they locked down with no resistance, and when I extracted the cases no signs of dents, creases, etc... Fired a few rounds and brass looked and measure normal... Should I be concerned??? Do I need to disassemble and retorque barrel down or should all be good??? Any help would be great! Also after firing about 10 round "go" gauge is still doing same thing (close almost all the way but wont lock bolt.
