Type 81 Upgraded Over-Sized Charging Handle

Never mind the quality, feel the width.

I have never felt the handle was too small, a bit big already if anything. Hopefully this is indicative of more aftermarket stuff for the rifles though.

It begs for a trigger shaped knob.

AK style for the win

I have all the type 81 stuff. Relax sister. Our panic liberal driven sport if full of un inspired bolt ons. It’s getting old. Relax.

There is a LOT of overpriced crap out there right now.

Just an update for everyone. I was an early adopter and the thing broke under normal use. Blew itself in half one day at the range while shooting from the bench. Wish it wasn't made of such poor materials! It was good when it worked but.. it was made to a poor standard and will eventually bust. Avoid for sure.

Mine has seen thousands of rounds and is still holding strong. I used red loctite.

I'll be honest, the 5$ Aliexpress "Zenitco" extended ak handle looks better than this. Granted, it is more work to fit it.

Does it fit on type 81 knob??

So did I, it didn't fall out - the metal actually snapped in two. It separated where the handle extends from the original charging handle. Fortunately I was able to get the threaded piece out eventually as well.

Mine snapped off as well however it lasted at least 1500 rounds. I was also hitting g it with the empty mag after reloads. Womp womp guess I'll have to design a new one since the parts have dried up everywhere.

I had to drill mine out to fit over type 81 cocking handle. After that , i put some electrical tape around the skinny part of the cocking handle, slid the zenitco enlarged knob over and lock tite'd the set screw and it hasn't gone anywhere since. Put 500 rnds through it, hasn't budged, and much nicer
