Compatible with AK-47 and AK-74 clones, the Ratchet Charging System from Dublin AK Systems, puts the charging handle out of the way of the weapon’s action, yet doesn’t prevent the use of side mounted optics. With the increasing popularity of the AK family of weapons it is nice to see work like this being accomplished. Other than some significant cosmetic changes, the major upgrade is a non-reciprocating charging handle. Perhaps since they have licked the AK’s shortfall, they could take a look at the SCAR.
Thanks to The Firearm Blog and Strike Hold! for the heads up.
