Dang, I was wondering the same thing. Came with my Saiga 7.62 also. After looking at the rifle the only conclusion I can come up with is that it is a punch/drift!?

Not saying that is the right answer but it was the only thing I could think of.

That's a dingle hopper.It gets connected to the snorf blaster.

haha, glad I'm not the only one dumbfounded by it. I thought, man, it must be important, it got its own sealed baggie!!!

Maybe a slave pin for reassembling the trigger group?

Or maybe that's how they are getting rid of their spent nuclear fuel...

Patch jig, The punch is to take the bolt apart, flat blade multipurpose tool, cleaning brush and oil bottle.

Spare pin for something?

Spare pin for something?

No, on a standard AK that pin is used to remove the firing pin and extractor. They are both held in by 2 small pins and that is what that pin in the cleaning kit is used for. Every AK cleaning kit has those tools.

the flat blade tool thing is also the up and down adjustment tool for the front sight on AK and SKS used in conjuncture with the metal tube that holds everything. The tube has a slot where the flat tip part fits turning the two parts into a T handle front sight pin tool
Ive never used the small punch
