Yes and No, the baffel has nothing to do with headspace or lock up, in that regard it would be safe to shoot. The problem is the baffel contains the primary extration ramp,that breaks cases loos after firng, so without it you would only get one shot off, and would not be able to extract the cartridge. With that all said "NEVER FIRER A GUN THAT IS MISSING PARTS, THEM PARTS ARE PUT THERE FOR A REASON."
