Hi everyone!

Who measured the depth of the bolt recess on a Faxon bolt - what did you get?

TIA!

Pretty soon I’ll be able to find out for myself - actually ran out of radiused/headspaced bolts and ordered 2 Faxons from Midway on sale.
And I can live with .045” for an off - hand build (this remark will no doubt trigger some “headspace doesn’t matter“ comments 😂🤦🏼‍♂️😊)
As an aside Faxon has an “essay” on their website on how important proper headspace is but doesn’t actually state what number they target on a 10-22 bolt.

have you seen this video? perusing the comments, I've determined he says the headspace is .0425
