The Magpul Zhukov Handguard for AK47/AK74 is a modern, fully-featured forearm designed for enhanced performance. Made in the USA, this handguard features a robust polymer outer shell and an aluminum chassis for strength and efficient heat dissipation. The extended length offers a large gripping surface, perfect for contemporary shooting techniques, while M-LOK slots at the three, six, and nine o'clock positions allow for the attachment of accessories. The hard anodized aluminum chassis clamps securely to the barrel, ensuring a flex-free mount and excellent heat shielding. Compatible with most AK-47/AKM/AK-74 rifles with barrel diameters between 16.75-18.25 mm, the Zhukov handguard also includes a replacement polymer top cover, enhancing functionality for the modern AK platform. Note that installation requires the permanent removal of the factory handguard retaining cap and forward sling mount, and minor fitting may be necessary to accommodate varying AK tolerances. This handguard counts as one US compliance part for 922(r).
