Let it go;..> Mine broke away years ago, and it has'nt affected anything;..> The pressure of the recoil spring will keep it up against the bolt. This 'tunnel' extension should not go anywhere but up against the bolt rear.
......My gun is a Gordie K creation reweld sa. He was the grandfather of Wiselite's 53/42 assembly line set-up, so it should be the same as my gun.
Beautiful women are like well built machineguns: Some should just be looked at, and left alone, while others were built to get hot.
