Stag arms 6.8 BCG
Black Hole Weaponry 18" 6.8 barrel
Wilson Combat Accu-tac Flash Hider
lo-pro gas block (manufacturer escaping me right now)

Head space is important to check. I have worked on a lot of guns and built a lot of guns. I have had several that had incorrect head spacing which checking with gauges found. Most on very name brand parts. It can be a very dangerous thing.
No disrespect but your comment is why it was so confusing. My final decision was made when one of the gunsmiths at Rainier Arms specifically told me I do not need to check headspace when I was on the phone with him buying one of many parts I did. As a back up I checked with a local well known gunsmith in N. Spokane with serious credentials and he too said no need. However with that said you will find some smiths equally reliable say you should check it. And that is where it is a chevy or a ford. And you can drive both from a to b without a problem.

If you don't check head space and there is a problem. Then things like case separation can happen. Which can lead to pressure spikes. Which can lead to serious damage to the shooters face. I have read of several people getting blinded by a issue that could have been avoided if the head space was correct.
Do I agree that most quality parts will be ok, YES. Is it a fact that some won't be, YES. Is my eye sight or my clients eye sight worth a set of head space gauges and a few minute's to check it? YES.

Agree 100% you will read or hear it many different ways. I always air on the side of better safe then sorry. It is 100% fact that not all parts will always be in spec. No one can argue that as I have seen several with my own eyes.well stated Carpsniper

Never would I consider anything to do with safety fluff.

:dunno: No one? :( I'll pay shipping if you're outside Wenatchee. I just have a hard time justifying $60 for a one time build/one time use.
I have never got into the 6.8 guns. If it was a 223 or 308 based round. I could help you out with gauges.
