The Generation 1 AK Lightning Bolt&trade removes the right side charging handle and adds a left side-charging handle. This allows the operator to cycle the weapon from the left side improving ergonomics and speeds of reloads. Another advantage of using the Gen 1 style is the operator will be able to chamber a round in the weapon with out disengaging the safety.
Although it is not pictured, the Lightning Bolt DOES come with a modified bolt cover.
