AK short throw safety

I modified how far the standard safety will move on my Saiga rifle. I found that at a certain position, pulling the charging handle rearward will actually disengage the safety automatically.
For those familar with the Saiga/AK type action, you will know that the charging handle can only be pulled all the way rearward with the safety already disengaged. By providing an alternative safe position, this allows the rifle to remain on safe UNTIL the handle is pulled rearward and the rifle is loaded.

The music is from Santiago de Compostela

where and how do you get and mod the bolt charging handle at I love it

@ArmedCivilian556 It's a 50 cent rubber stopper plug from the hardware store. You just drill a hole in the small end (not all the way through) and slide it over the charging handle. Super easy.

I like that version of "Nothing Else Matters" song, lol.

@DIECASTER Do a youtube search for "Gregorian - Nothing Else Matters". That should find it for you.

@Highmark101 but where was the necessity in the first place? M. Kalashnikov got it right the first time. Most of the mods floating around for the AK cause more problems than they "solve" with it. And these so called problems can be solved by dedicated time gaining an understanding of the weapon and training in it's use. Watch a video of Sonny Puzikas and you'll see what I mean. It helped me.
