That is a pin anti walk device.
It keeps the trigger and hammer pins in place.
Not something to use.

Is this the rifle that came sans bcg?
Stag, yes it is the one.
Put a bcg in it, with enhanced firing pin and ejector spring, and today shot 2 mags thru it in the back yard.
First round of Tula in each mag didn't go off, I had to recock and fire again, dunno if it's just from being first round or what.
I LL do some more testing at the range, I don't like to shoot too much in the back yard .

You bought a Ferrari and your filling it up with regular gas.
See if you can find some ammo made with Hornady's 123 sst--they run great out of both my Ar 47 and Ak 47.

dunno, I don't want to be one of those uppity people with their fancy guns, I also have a hi-point carbine if that evens it out : )
I'll go buy some good ammo and see what it does. So far I am only shootin it with iron sights.
Just shot another mag in the back yard, no hiccups this time.

here I was like an idiot trying to flick it, to see what it did.

Too late for that, you already bought one--no, you bought 2 fancy guns.
It's perfectly OK to not pretend you're a urban Mujahideen with warpaint on--and use the best ammo and cleaning procedures you can. You might even find the guns will last longer and shoot better!jetinteriorguy

Hey, it’s an AR, just add oil and it will most likely start working better.

Don't sweat it. Your name is Pistoler0. Had your name been Rifler0, I would have been worried, but you're good!
IMOH, if its that good of a gun, it should run with whatever you put in it as long as its the right cartridge. Personally I try to avoid shooting steel in my guns, but I always test it to make sure it runs. As I reload steel is not terribly practical, and I just don't like it except for guns designed for steel, like the AK, and Mosin to name just a couple.
Shadow,
Yes, but with these prices, I thought that something shooting 7.62x39 rusky ammo might make more sense. I used to go to the range 1x or 2x week, shooting around 100 rds per session betw pistol and rifle. But with these prices I just cannot afford it.
Since I buy firearms for the long term (I am not into trading) I try to save up and try to get something a bit more quality. The one time cost of the platform is not nearly as much as the cumulative cost of ammo, range fees, gas, trips, etc.
The only issue I am having now is that the extractor is leaving marks on the cases, I am talking about it in this thread:
