Done!

The Swedish AK 4
tool depicted above can come in handy when disassembly is
necessary. It features a screwdriver to remove the pistol grip
(1.), a flash hider key (3.), an
extractor spring removal tool (4.) and a key to insert in the
bolt head to help rotating it -see image below (5.).
#2. I do not know what is for, so if anybody knows, please
e-mail me.

Insert in the end of the AK 4 tool marked "5." in the slot
indicated by the arrow to aid in rotating the bolt head,
ref. step 5 in the assembly manual.

Still, I find
the Norwegian "bottle opener"
extractor spring removal tool a lot easier to use than
the Swedish AK 4 tool for removing the extractor spring. |
