Curious about your preference then. Over or under for AK charging handle? Also, what is thumb over bore?

It depends. Over feels more natural and faster and is my preferred method but when an optic is mounted I got to go under.
Thumb over bore is wrapping your thumb over the top of the handguard. Since now you got your thumb over the bore of the rifle you have better control of the muzzle. This in turn allows for better recoil management, faster follow up shots. With AKs and other rifles with low iron sights, I put my thumb up but cognitively ensure my thumb isn't obstructing my sight picture. So my thumb will be just left of my iron sights.
Is that front sight a holosun sight?The full-length version. Note the optics.

I can't be 100% sure, but it looks like the same logo in these images. That company could be the OEM behind Holosun.

I did some more digging around, and I think I found the corresponding Holosun sights: HM3X Magnifier + HS510 series open reflex. The pair was . If the PLA procures them, the price of course would be cheaper, likely considerably so.

I have the same combo on my AR-15 pistol. I use the HE-510C-GR as I prefer green reticules over red and especially amber!
Just curious if the DART185 optic for the new rifle is even available for purchase or export? I would love to test it on my midlength AR, see how it compares to an ACOG and the Primary Arms SL3x Prism I have on one of my AKs.

... sigh.
That's a full length not a carbine right?
