The Archangel OPFOR AK-series forend is expertly designed for all short forend AK models, consisting of four components: a lower hand guard, two upper hand guards (including one with an integral 12-o'clock Picatinny rail) and an internal heat shield. Constructed from our renowned high-strength carbon fiber and glass-reinforced black polymer, this forend delivers durability and performance. The lower hand guard features a comfortable swell and is grooved for enhanced grip control, while the aggressively grooved upper hand guards provide a secure hold for the off hand. Additionally, the forend is ventilated to promote effective heat dissipation, ensuring a comfortable shooting experience. With a 3.75 inches M1913 Picatinny rail, the OPFOR forend is designed for both comfort and control. It is 922(r) compliant and backed by a lifetime warranty. Proudly made in the USA, this forend is the perfect upgrade for your AK.
