Kalashnikov USA's AKECH Extended Charging Handle is an ideal upgrade for the KS-12 series of shotguns, the KOMRAD, KR-103 series of rifles, the Saiga shotgun, and the majority of AKM platforms. It installs directly over the original charging handle, allowing the user chamber a round to clear the weapon more effectively in adverse conditions or when wearing gloves. Features a knurled surface for extra grip and is easy to install.
