So don't laugh, but I've been struggling keeping the barrels on my 33b from sliding to one end or the other since I got it used. Today I decided to do a little maintenance on it and saw that there's only one rubber foot on one corner on the bottom. Yeah, I'm not very observant sometimes- is that the way it's supposed to be? It just made me shake my head... Thanks.

Sounds like it's time for a trip to the hardware store.

I think mine came with 3. One each in the two corners at the top of your image, and one in the middle at the bottom of your image. I wish these had the knurled nut guide like the bigger ones. Trying to get it as level as possible basically requires releveling it each time you put the barrels on. If one side is heavier than the other this week, the pads slightly compress and they slide towards the heavy side. I've used cardboard shims to try to get it close enough, mostly to reduce the force on those nylon guides. I've not had good luck at Home Depot finding a good size to replace them with, about to say screw it and just drill a hole through a bottle cap and call it a day.

I think mine came with feet on all four corners. I know I’ve replaced some of them.
