Notching an AK-47 Safety Selector Lever for Bolt Hold-Open
By Russ Chastain, About.com
Carefully - very carefully - make the cuts on either side of the proposed notch. Do this slowly. Getting in a hurry can lead to mistakes, which may include breaking a cutoff wheel, ruining the safety lever, and/or serious personal injury. Next, install the lever into the gun and test the fit to make sure your opening is wide enough, and that the cuts are at the proper angle.
