do i have to put the charging handle myself or is it installed already

Robert, charging handle is factory pre-installed. Cheers and stay safe!

Robert, the charging handle comes installed on the gun. This gun also includes a pistol grip, not pictured, but can be seen here >>> https://atlanticfirearms.com/sds-semi-auto-ar-t02-12-shotgun .....Have a great day!

Robert, no need to install it. The charging handle will come installed already. Hope this helps

Does this shotgun operate by means of Gas or Inertia blowback? I will be running low brass bird shot, and need to know if it will function just as well with light loads, and the heavier 3" buckshot loads. Thank you.

Ashley, it is gas operated. It comes with a light load piston installed, but also includes a heavy load piston, as seen in this video at about 00:47. >>> youtube.com/watch?v=U2mnBbWUmPw .....You should be good with birdshot or buckshot. Have a great day!

I’ve just picked up the AK-T02 Shotgun yesterday afternoon and I had a heck of a time installing the firing bolt latch. Eventually, I fully assembled the firearm and works like a charm.
