I recently bought a barrel and bolt from Templar Custom, when I took all my parts to my local gunsmith they found it was improperly head spaced. I had to return it to TC to be fixed (which he did without charging me shipping or creating a new chamber, sorry tangent from previous barrel purchase). If I would have slapped it together as many internet novices do themselves I could have had a bad situation. Also for what it is worth my gunsmith said it was only the second AR build they had ever done that had a head space problem. So it is rare but you don't want it to be your rifle.
