Is this supposed to happen?

I was going through the parts of the SDB I inherited from my uncle and when I looked a the Small Primer Slide Assembly it looked like, well you'll see in the picture below. The SDB was originally setup to load .45 Long Colt so the Large Primer Slide Assembly was in the press, and I removed the .45 LC dies and currently loading .45 ACP so I didn't have to change the Primer Slide Assembly (trying not to use Federal or Blazer brass). My question is, does this normally happen to any of the Primer Slide Assemblies? To the best of my knowledge it was never used.

It appears that this part has been exposed to a bit of heat, warping the delrin bearing. Email us, and include your address, and we will mail a replacement bearing to you.
