Just checking on something, while waiting for the 223 bolt head to show up.

Am I understanding the purpose of the extension on the 223 bolt front baffle correctly: That it is only a filler to stop the reward travel of the bolt when using a short cartridge?



I'm thinking about skipping it and using the regular one I already have on my 243 Win bolt. The rifle is feeding out of AICS magazines, so there doesn't appear to be any reason to shorten the bolt travel.
