<h1>Please don't use this on a real firearm </h1> <h2> this piece is put under stress during normal utilisation and was not tested, nor approved, for such use.</h2> <p>This is an accurately dimensioned RP-1 charging handle for AK, made by Zenitco.</p> <h3>The Necked version is the most accurate, but might be a little harder to print. I recommend printing it upside down from the way it is presented : it will gives a smoother external face, and will keep all edges straight.</h3> <p>The dimensions used come from the zenitco website <em>(18x27 + 3mm)</em> Once printed, you'll need <strong>two Sprung Pressure Screws</strong> to secure it in place, as for the real one : I dimensionned the holes to accept <strong>M4x5 screws</strong> </p> <p>Please keep in mind that the screws will leave small marks on your cocking handle, because some pressure is needed to keep it in place.</p> The edges are a little rough at first but they will smooth up after some time. <p>On the original product, the "RP-1" marking is white, and just painted on top. You can use modelism paint to carefully fill the letters to have an even more accurate result.</p> <p>As for the real Zenitco RP-1, this print won't be compatible with accurate AKM and AKS-74U replicas. However, and this is my case, a lot of the airsoft replicas use basic AK charging handle design.</p> Feel free to leave a comment if you have any question!
