I have been able to find all the parts on midway but the baffle. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Your baffle probably has the extension to shorten the bolt throw for the shorter 204-223 cartridges. I'd get in touch with SSS for a standard one without the extension or maybe someone on here has an extra one their willing to part with.

You may also need an extractor. Those for the 204-223 are longer out past the ball detent, the side towards the lug.
