Magpul ZHUDOV-U AK47/AK74 Handguard - Black - The Zhukov-U Hand Guard shaves off 1.5in from the original Zhukov AK Hand Guard to accommodate shorter barreled rifles and pistols, and keeps the front end of full length rifles a little more lively. The shorter version also allows us to accommodate the military issue cleaning rods. The Zhukov-U shares the same style of sturdy aluminum chassis as the longer standard Zhukov, providing strength and heat mitigation in a comfortable, injection molded exterior for superior ergonomics. The Zhukov-U includes M-LOK slots for accessory attachment, and is fully compatible with the UltiMAK gas tube rail. Installation requires removing handguard retainer. Hand Guard counts as one US compliance part for 922(r). 1in Shorter Than Standard ZHUKOV Handguard Compatible With SBRs And AK Pistols With Standdard-Length Gas Systems Fits Stamped And Milled AK-47/AK-74 Rifles M-LOK Slots For Accessorty Attachments Made In The USA
