AR Guys...What Is This Part??

I just finished putting together my first rifle and as with any build of ANYTHING I put together I have parts left over.
I've functioned checked it up to the point of firing it and everything works as it should.
This was from the lower parts kit.
Thanks in advance for your responses!

I hate it when I take things apart and then after I put it back together there are extra parts left over.
I don't know what that is. I haven't taken mine apart yet.

I am not an AR guy but that looks a lot like a nickel to me.
Might those other things be a bolt catch plunger and spring?
{edit: doh! should'a read the other replies]

And now....no left over parts! Put one in the win column for a 1st time builder!

I think you super glue the nickle onto the buffer??
Some kind of tactical adapter thingy.

Taped to a target 100 yards away. After you put a neat little .223" hole in it, you have a souvenir.

Its a 6.8 but I like your idea.
Also, maybe I'll glue it to the bolt release to make for a larger surface area.
