I don't have any levers or caps but the piece of metal
you found is the spring that holds the wind lever in
the "home" (as vs "stand off") position.
Works fine without it, just a bit annoying when the
lever wanders out of position, I'm a left eyed shooter
and the lever pokes me in the right eye when it's out
a bit. ;-(
