858...Is this Normal?

I am wondering if that guiding rod should be bent like that? My spring was also bent but I replaced it in the meantime(I don't have a picture of it).
It seems that latelly it is really hard to #### the rifle.

That paint really is ugly...

No it's supposed to be straight all right you might be able to bend it back but it would be best to get a new guide rod

Did you try to remove the dust cover without firing off the action? Just bend it back and center it inside the striker. It's not a big deal at all.

U need a new rear cover as this might cause the spring to bind thus leading to striker issues. Call Wolverine & ask for Wolfgang.

.... this might cause the spring to bind thus leading to striker issues.

It does exactly that. Previus spring was bent at 90 degrees.

Yeah. That's not normal.

Last time mine did that I blew the dust cover right off and it was totally AWESOME! But who cares? I think Marstar sold me one for 35$. Just get a new one

Just get a parts kit from Wolverine for 99.00 and that will solve that problem and most others that may pop up.
