Headspace in Contenders?
Who here has gone through the head space correction procedure as described by Mike Bellm for Thompson Contenders?
How much difference will correcting whatever the factory spec is in terms of accuracy?

Thanks.

His system works very well. It will definitely end a misfire problem due to action gap. I have seen a few that would not fire some shells. If you shoot a lot then his head space gauge is worth the money. I have one.

He also does an incredible trigger job. He has done two for me. Tom.

A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him "Why do you carry a 45?" The Ranger responded, "Because they don't make a 46."
