Yes, it is actually part of the bolt and it’s purpose is to secure the bolt in place for east installation between the stock and barrel. I got this information from a friend with a Vinci. I took it out and everything shot fine but have ordered another piece from stoeger

Just the small tab has broken off

Hey guys, just got a benelli vinci the other day! Not new to benelli as I do have a sbe3, however I purchased the benelli Vinci tactical pistol grip model for turkey. my question is about the bolt assembly, and specifically the little red plastic piece at the end closest to the stock. I think it is called the bolt buffer pad, it has that tab the extrudes out a bit and secures into the barrel. Well before even shooting this brand new Vinci, this tab has already snapped off. Not too happy with it right now. what I am asking and wondering is if I am okay to shoot and use the gun? It still assembles and the bolt moves fine. If not, where can I get a replacement piece? I am from Canada if that helps. thanks and hope to hear from someone asap because I want to try my new gun.
