Notching an AK-47 Safety Selector Lever for Bolt Hold-Open
By Russ Chastain, About.com
At first I thought I might just grab the piece to be removed and break it off with pliers, but this thing is tough and I didn't want to possibly bend the lever, so I simply cut it out little by little using the cutoff wheel. This photo shows it partly done. Notice that I haven't taken it down to the full depth yet.
