It is not designed to have one...why do you NEED one anyway. I always do a visual check whenever I pick any weapon.
It is not about cheecking checking AK chamber. It is for easier reloads annd to distiguish last rd from a jam or misfire. In addition, since the bolt handle of the AK is on the right sife, reloads are not the easiest.
