 Would need the complete model & spec number to tell for sure. 

 

Right off hand I would say no. I'v never found one on any of my K-91s. 

Lock washers generally are found right under a nut.

Sometimes the recoil (depending on different recoils) used on a k-91 requires adjustment of the cup depth to have the recoil dogs grab better.  Never saw a lock washer used but you sometimes use what you have to do the job.
