Is there even enough travel to permit such a thing?
No kits I know of. Cut off the existing charging handle from the carrier. Mill a race into the side of the "gas tube", and add a collar with an external charging handle through the race. Given the topography involved, need a pin or something on the piston body to engage the collar, or a long arm on the collar to reach back to the carrier body from the charging handle location. |

I think PTR has HK'd the ak as much as one could want or am I missing something?

Quote HistoryI'd love to see those be adapted for 6.5 Grendel. Doesn't seem like it would be too hard.

Now this one is really interesting. "Hinge block attachment" in the verbiage, though? That would make or break it for me - depends on how it attaches. Edit to add: Plus, it would pretty much rule out optics that use the side mount, huh?  Davis Tactical Solutions LINCH AK Charging Handle |

I'll +1 the PTR-32, not only is it a non-reciprocating handle, it's the real deal roller locker. The delayed blowback still amazes me. Uber accurate.
Still, while the non-reciprocating HK style handle feels great on a compact package like the MP5, I'm not as big a fan with it on an 18" carbine. It's a slim package, but I find I can still change mags & recharge faster with an AK's fixed right side handle closer to the shooter. I thought there was another company that tried an HK style retrofit charge handle a few years ago? Maybe they're gone... |

I thought this was pretty gimicky at first but after watching MACs video a few times I can see where it could be useful for certain AK configurations.
No side rail optics can be used... terrible for how I personally use most of my AKs, but fine for an Ultimak style setup (which I do also use). I don't think this will be as fast reloading even assuming you were trained and as proficient with the LINCH as you were with a standard AK reload. It does seem very easy though just not sure on the speed. The simplicity is great and very well thought out. It's actually a natural fit for the AK design without being forced or jerryrigged Z |
