My 1st thought and fairly sure is it’s a lever for a lever-delay blow back. Given the look of it, I’d say San Cristobal carbine. Not the FAMAS rifle.
Kind of going by what looks to be a spec of rust and what looks to be WW2 era design to fit that eras machine tools and other manufacturing methods. But, I have no idea what a lever in a FAMAS looks like.
FWIW, I appreciate you taking the time to add to your website.
