When I went out to shoot my New Sharps last week, I had a little problem, First i didn't know it had a safety, and after a shoot it goes back on, I think I was moving it just enought that it was allowing the hammer to go all the way down, the spent cases the primer indent was pushed back flat. So I was told how to check for head space.
I took a new dowel Rod, and a case had my wife hold it in the case lip, and I slowly pushed the rod down the barrel untill I touched the rim of the case with steadty pressure, I took a razor blade, and made a flush cut, then with a empty breech I closed the block and ran the dowel rod untill i couldn't go any further and took the razor and made a flush mark!
Pulled it out and took my calibers and made sure they were on zero, and the measure ment was .99 . so i took a lille machnest pocket ruler and it measured under 3/32 .
is that to much head space??
I would be great full for the help! Greg
