The bolt carrier in my design moves 13cm. Do you know exactly how far the real AK carrier moves? I've searched and searched but to no avail.

Of course not (but it is similar).

Patents aren't international, and are a pain in the ass to obtain to boot. I'd rather keep the design private until I actually start shipping (which won't be for quite a long time).
