An unknowledgeable person attempted to disassemble the gun with a pry tool because they didn't realize that the upper receiver had to be in the rear position to move the takedown lever...

This can be bent back, but I wouldn't do it cold, I would heat the lever part to soften the bent location while protecting the part that enters the frame from getting too hot... If the part is original to the gun and you are afraid of breaking it, send it to policeluger to fix it, or just buy a mismatched part to install for shooting...
