This is the spring that allows the bolt head to snap on and off the guide rail--
If it is broken, loose on the screw or bent inward, it can allow the bolt head to rotate up off the rail while loading.
It is possible to rebend these ocassionally, if it needs to bend out. Sometimes they just break, though. So "at your own risk", OK?
If the bolthead can be pried off the rail anywhere forward of this spring location, either the action body or bolthead is dangerously out of spec and the rifle needs to be seen by a competent gunsmith.

unfortunately it easily pry's off the track about halfway through. I mean too easy. Hardly any effort is needed. The entire bolt assembly has some side to side play as well. Strange cause the track looks like it thins out a bit in the center too.

Sorry to hear that, berettaman.
The bolthead shouldn't come off the rail at the midpoint under any amount of force, short of destruction.
