fixed setting

I think this is about an adjustable sight which has to be locked in a fixed aiming position after firing and before the magazine is taken out.
Note from asker:
i like both "fixed setting" and "carrying position" In this case the sight has no relation to taking out the magazine, other then the order of steps that is suggested.

Thank you.
agree Evgeny Artemov (X) : Unless it means the carrying position. This is Setting "П" (Setting "S" in the Polish version of the AKM), equivalent to Setting "3", required to be set at all times unless ordered (or reckoned) otherwise.
