You could check go/nogo on headspacing if you want. Not worth the effort. With a decent bolt and a decent barrel the odds of the headspacing being off are very, very small.
Just torque the nut down to min spec (30 ft/lbs. I think) and then continue to tighten until the gas tube can be properly aligned. Don't torque it past 80 ft/lbs.
Seriously, there's tons of video, documentation, etc. out there. The hardest part is ordering all the parts.
If I may offer an opinion at this point - I'd avoid Bud's and Cheaper Than Dirt. Both companies are known to have serious customer service and ethical problems.
