I picked up an Egytian FN 49 recently and upon cleaning I noticed this little piece broken on the back of the receiver cover. Is this a safety issue??? Will that cover come flying off if I shoot this rifle??? Or is it just a latch that unlocks the cover to be removed? Can this be replaced or do I need a new cover? Can I leave it as is? Also can't seem to find what this latch is called. Did the usual internet search. This is my first FN rifle so not too familiar here.
I know alot of questions here but a concern. Don't want to end up dead or hurt.
Thanks in advance.
