That's a mess!

New one on me, for sure. I'm wondering if it turned a full turn out, like maybe got bumped halfway around and just spun out instead of in by hand. I've seen people stake the back plate into the castle nut before and thought it was a but of overkill. It maybe not! I'm kind of surprised that. nothing was whacked hard enough to damage it. Its good the buffer self aligned back into the tube as the bolt came rearward.
