model 16 weather warrior bolt baffle

[hildy99]

i took my bolt apart for the first time. i had to put the bolt handle in a vice (between blocks of wood) because the rear nut was so tight while it was in the vice i noticed the rear bolt baffle fell down (out of the bearing groove) and now even when the bolt is fully assembled i can turn the baffle out of the bearing groove and take it off. if this is normal ive never noticed it before. if its not normal will it affect the way the gun operates?

THANKS

That is normal.
