Little more tricky than legos. I would put it on par with a brake job and wheels bearing with the old skool 2 piece bearings.

Never had a big Lego Technics box yet? they can get pretty complicated.
Well headspacing is done in the barrel in pretty much all fire arms. That's besides the point.
But if you assemble a new firearm, new bolt and barrel combination..
You should check it, and if it's short, you must ream out the chamber
if it's long, you can't fix it without another barrel.
Short is problematic because it won't fully go to battery
Long is problematic because it will blow out the necks on your brass
Not a problem in itself, but those cases will require more resizing to fit back to standard ammo that fits all your rifles.. brass will wear out faster.
Obviously if you buy the right barrel and bolt, all will be well.. But You'de be a fool not to check it after building.
That's why there are G-NG gauges.
It is a technical check you
really should do on a gun before taking it to the range.
Now if you buy a build kit and trust your supplier.. I guess you gotta make sure it's a good supplier for upper parts. One that never ever makes any mistakes
