These measurements are by no means accurate, if you want to do this right, find someone with an AK, rack the bolt all the way back, and measure the distance!

The reason I came up with 13cm is because I noticed that the fire selector (on my airsoft ak47, that is - dtp metal body) protrudes a little bit into the carrier's path even when set on automatic. 13cm is as far back as the handle can travel without bumping into the selector.
