Trouble Reassembling Cyma AK

[RitchieTheBrit]

Hey guys! Looking at a friend's AK. He had it in bits, and wasn't 100% sure how to reassemble.

Never worked on an AK before. Watched a few videos, but I still can't work out how the spring assembles with the bolt! Below are the parts that are loose. He doesn't know where the small spring is from either. The gearbox and fire selector all work as expected.



As you can see, the bolt spring appears very damaged, as it the gearbox retaining slide (not sure how, but he snapped it in two).

Help greatly appreciated!

Aha! Already got it back together, after a fashion, but cheers SniperJesus! Pretty much on the right track, but I had to improvise the spring location with it being broken.

Realised the small spring is placed in the hole at before the guide rod, providing back-force to keep the closure tab pressed back.
