AK-47 Safety Lever, Complete and Installed
Put your gun back together, and enjoy! Now you will be able to lock the gun's action open at ther shooting range, when the range goes cold. This makes your gun safer (no chance of accidentally leaving a round chambered) and it helps keep the range officers happy, so they'll be less likely to hassle you about your popper. Congrats!
