When I stripped my m14s down to clean it, the bolt roller fell off when I removed the op-rod. I was able to snap it back on the bolt with minimal effort, but found that I could also remove it again with my fingers if I pulled hard enough. Is this normal? The bolt has fired less then 2000 rounds.

thanks
 
The roller is held in place with a C shaped spring clip. Without it and the tool to compress it to put the roller on....
Once you do get it fixed... See the Link above in M14.ca's post.. Great info Frank.
And something "everyone" with an M14/M1A/LRB or what have you, should check is that the oprod isn't resting on the roller at full lock up. This has been a problem on rifles sent to me with similar roller spitting issues.
I'm dealing with one right now for a fella from the island. H&R USGI bolt to boot.
Brownells sells M1A bolt roller and bolt roller clips... Cheap enough to order spares ;)
