Midwest Industries Alpha AK47 Handguard Features The Midwest Industries Alpha AK47 Handguard is a drop-in design that installs without permanent modification to the firearm retaining the front handguard cap and sling loop. Machined from 6061 aluminum the handguard is given a hard coat anodized finish that resists wear and corrosion through heavy range use. An adjustable design allows the handguard to fit on most AKM firearms with stamped receivers though it will not fit Yugo or milled receiver variants. The 6 inch length keeps the handguard compact while still providing real estate for M-LOK accessories. M-LOK compatibility is built directly into the handguard s design and it ships with one 5-slot Picatinny rail section for mounting optics lights or other rail-based accessories. A specially designed heat shield is included to protect both the handguard and the shooter s support hand from barrel heat during sustained firing. Multiple QD points allow quick attachment of sling swivels for different carry configurations. Backed by a lifetime warranty and made in the USA the Midwest Industries Alpha AK47 Handguard in black is available for sale at GrabAGun for AK owners wanting a modern modular handguard upgrade.
