Bent 870 action bar lock

[Nbhunt3r]

Without getting into to much detail on how I did it, I bent the action bar lock on grizzly, the action would no longer lock close. I bent it back into position where it does lock now. Safe to shoot or should I look for a new bar lock.

This is what it looks like now.

I'd put a new one in, but I may just be OCD.

Shouldn't be an issue to have bent it back as long as it'll cycle the action and lock up when it's supposed to. The action bar lock doesn't take any impact from recoil.
