Upper Charging system for Kalashnikov Rifles
This item replaces the original gas tube with a new one that contains a new charging handle and slide. The new charging handle protrudes from the left side directly over the forearm of the rifle at the perfect angle to allow for easier and less troublesome charging. With a slight force in the upward direction from the operator the bolt assembly can be locked out of battery and away from the chamber. While utilizing the tension in the recoil spring a slight downward force on the new charging handle can be applied by the operator to release the bolt assembly forward and chamber a round in an instant. The pre existing charging handle on the right side is now unnecessary and can be discarded. All hardware is included. No gun smithing required. MADE IN THE USA.
Advantages when compared to original charging system:

•Bolt locking system with release
•Built from the finest metals
•Allows for faster reloading
•Easier function for a right handed operator
•Quicker cooling
•Unlike other left sided charging systems, with the Ratchet Charging system you can use your left side optics rail
•Easier Cleaning
•Safety can be engaged when chambering a round (if old handle is discarded)
•Visual safety, when chamber is open while bolt is in locked position
•The operator no longer loses sight picture while loading
•Long lasting black matte finish
•Self cleaning design allows dirt and debris to easily exit the gas tube.
•Easier to clear missfeed
•Unproblematic reloading when firing from the prone position.

  • You know you could probally take that design to a large company and let them market it for you. Of course, you probally wont make nearly as much and they will either modify/change it slightly and put their name on it.

  • Its not about the money, i'm only 19 and i think this mod is the future. a lot of newly designed rifles are being equipped with the upper charging system.

  • @dublinak i had no idea you were 19 you really have your shit together. The trend in my opinion will be towards forward located, non reciprocating charging handles that are ambi capable

  • Thanks. yeah, i'm currently working on a well designed non reciprocating charging handle.

  • Very NICE! Get one designed for the Yugo with a the "Ultimak" railtube system incorporated and Id be set sir!

  • Boston Baby!

  • you should try this with the sks platform and see if it works.

  • If you permanently fix a rail to your gas tube low, you'd have a great way to offer a red dot optics platform that could still utilize iron sights by not being too high. Just a thought. Man, way to go. That is really great to see.

  • Man that is sick!Going to have to get me one.Thats a hell of an idea man you should be proud of yourself.Keep it up man!

  • Neat stuff and yes the people at AKFiles would like to see this. Also you might want to think about designing an improved handle.
