Zenitco RP-1 Charging Handle Knob - CNC Aluminum Enlarged Cocking Grip

Genuine Zenitco | CNC-machined D16T aluminum | Fits the standard charging handle | Black, Desert & Golden khaki
In short: a genuine Zenitco RP-1 - a compact enlarged knob that fits over the standard reciprocating charging handle of most AK-pattern carbines. It roughly doubles the grip surface, so the action is far easier and faster to cycle, even with gloves or cold hands. Machined from D16T aluminum alloy; only about 17 g. Mounts with the two included screws. Available in black, desert and golden khaki.

Overview

The RP-1 is a milled D16T aluminum knob that clamps onto the standard bolt handle and makes it substantially larger. At 17 g and 18 x 27 mm it adds almost nothing to the carbine, but it gives the hand a real surface to pull on - which is what matters with gloves, in the cold, or when the bolt is stiff.

Installation uses the two supplied screws and the hex key from the box: the factory bolt handle stays in place and nothing is machined or replaced. The RP-1 fits AK-pattern carbines and civilia carbines built on that platform, with the exception of the short-barrel U variant and the non-folding AK-pattern models. Finished in Black or Desert.

The RP-1 is a simple, rugged upgrade to the factory charging handle. Its deeply ribbed cylindrical body slips over the standard reciprocating handle and is locked in place with two screws, giving a much larger and more positive purchase for cocking. This makes charging quicker and more comfortable during sport range use and training - particularly when wearing gloves or working in the cold.

A genuine Zenitco factory part machined from D16T aluminum alloy; it measures about 27 x 18 mm and weighs only about 17 g. Rated for a working temperature range of -50 to +50 C.

Compatibility Note: Fits the standard reciprocating charging handle of most AK-pattern carbines. It is NOT compatible with certain compact short-barrel or older stamped-receiver variants. Ships with a hex key, two mounting screws and a manual.
