Was disassembling my m44 and noticed the guide rod on the bolt has a slight inward bend to it ,which pushes on the bolt head to where it looks ever so slightly canted.Is this normal? It doesn't seem to affect function at all, but it has me a little concerned.

As long as it doesn't affect function, you're fine.

Thanks I appreciate it.
