Will this part have
problems with heat?
No, we have done a lot of testing on this issue and there
are no conflicts with heat. The new gas tube maintains a much lower temperature
then the sheet metal original. There is also room for air to circulate inside
the tube which aids in keeping it cool. Feel free to watch Pt. 2 of the video of
the first generation which utilizes the same concept.
Won’t the gap create a
loss of gas and make the rifle unable to function?
No, the Kalashnikov has an impulse acting gas system. This
means that the gun could actually cycle without a gas tube on the rifle. The
gas tube is there to protect the piston and guide the piston into the gas
block.
Do I have to worry
about keeping my hands out of the way?
No, this model is non-reciprocating so you can hold on to
the handle while the rifle is cycling in firing mode. The charging handle is
static.
I have a left side folding
stock on my AK, can I still use this modification?
Yes, the stock is far enough away from the handle making it
very convenient to charge the firearm.
I have a left side
scope mount on my AK, can I still use this modification?
Yes, this modification is perfect for the use of a left side
optics mount.
Do I need to replace
any parts on my gun?
All you need to replace is the gas tube. The new gas tube
comes in this package and contains a slide and bolt handle. You do not need to
replace any other parts.
Do I need to modify my
piston?
No, no modification is required to your piston except the
placement of a sleeve that comes in this package. No gun smithing is required.
Do I have to remove my
existing charging handle?
No, many users choose to because it allows them to charge
there firearm with the safety engaged but this is entirely up to the operator.
Will this modification
hinder field stripping?
With the system installed you can remove all parts except the gas tube and the carrier. This modification requires that the top half be removed to take the sleeve off the piston in order to remove the carrier. The carrier can still be pulled out and the bolt can be removed.
Does this require any
permanent modification to my rifle?
No, The Ratchet Charging System is installed very easily and
is a drop in kit. No permanent modification is necessary.
