Tuning parts from AKS for AR-platform air rifles: charging handles, individual trigger systems, barricade devices and spring systems for precision and dynamic shooting in the PRS and IPSC style. Back to Accessories.

PRS & IPSC – Tuning for Dynamic Precision Shooting

PRS (Precision Rifle Series) and IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) represent two related styles of dynamic shooting sport: precision under time pressure, changing shooting positions, and use at barricades. PCP air rifles built on an AR platform – such as the Air Arms S400 Sniper with its AR-compatible platform – let you train this shooting style at lower ammunition cost and shorter distances. This category holds the matching tuning accessories from the AKS brand ("tuning made in germany"), designed to upgrade AR-platform air rifles for PRS and IPSC training.

Ambidex Charging Handle – Ambidextrous Cocking Component

The AKS Ambidex Charging Handle A.C.H. replaces the stock charging handle on the AR platform with an ambidextrous version – handy for fast cycling regardless of which shoulder you shoot from. For the larger platform there's the Ambidex Charging Handle MR 308 A.C.H. Both are available in several color options (including black, red, and yellow-gray).

Individual Trigger System – Adjustable Trigger Unit

The AKS Individual Trigger System I.T.S. is an individually tuned trigger solution for more control and consistency on the shot – a cleanly defined trigger makes a real difference under the time pressure of a PRS or IPSC stage. There's also an Individual Trigger System MR 308 I.T.S. variant for the larger platform, likewise available in several color options.

Barricade Device & Multi Spring System

The AKS Barricade Device M-Lok & QD is a rest/support device that mounts to the forend via an M-Lok interface or QD mount – built for a stable, secure hold against barricades, a typical element of a PRS stage. The AKS Multi Spring System M.S.S. rounds out the tuning lineup for fine-tuning the system.

Legal Overview

The AR-platform air rifles relevant here are classified as unrestricted firearms (marked with an "F" in a pentagon, limited to a maximum muzzle energy of 7.5 joules with standard test ammunition) and are therefore freely available from the age of 18, without a firearms licence or firearms possession card. Before converting your rifle, check whether your specific model is compatible with the AKS components.
