Zenitco RP-5 Charging Handle Knob - CNC Aluminum Enlarged Cocking Grip

Genuine Zenitco | CNC-machined D16T aluminum | Three-screw top clamp | Fits stamped-receiver AK-pattern carbines | Black, Desert & Golden khaki
In short: a genuine Zenitco RP-5 - a compact enlarged knob that fits over the standard reciprocating charging handle of stamped-receiver 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 18 g. Clamps on with three top screws. Available in black, desert and golden khaki.

Overview

The RP-5 enlarges the factory bolt-carrier lever on AK-pattern carbines built on the older AK-pattern receiver, where the lever has a rounded side face that tapers towards the tip. That shape is what separates the RP-5 from the RP-1 - check your lever before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable.

It is milled from D16T aluminum and weighs 18 g, so it changes the handling without changing the balance. The knob splits into an inner part and an outer shell: the inner part goes onto the factory lever, the shell closes over it, and three screws lock the assembly. Nothing is machined or replaced. Finished in Black or Desert.

The RP-5 is a simple, rugged upgrade to the factory charging handle of stamped-receiver AK-pattern carbines. Its deeply ribbed cylindrical body slips over the standard reciprocating handle and is locked in place with three screws on the top face, giving a much larger and more positive purchase for cocking. This makes charging quicker and more comfortable during sport shooting and training - particularly when wearing gloves or working in the cold.

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

Compatibility Note: Designed for stamped-receiver AK-pattern carbines and carbines built on that platform. It fits their standard reciprocating charging handle. Note: this is the stamped-receiver version - for other AK-pattern carbines order the RP-1, and for compact short-barrel carbines order the RP-4. Ships with a hex key, three mounting screws and a manual.
