Magpul Industries ZHUKOV Handguard AK-47/AK-74 Plum Polymer M-LOK

The Magpul ZHUKOV Handguard is a fully featured AK forearm designed to modernize the factory AK platform. Molded in durable polymer with a distinctive Plum finish, the ZHUKOV brings improved ergonomics, better weapon handling, integrated M-LOK accessory mounting, and reliable heat protection to standard AK-pattern rifles.

The ZHUKOV replaces the factory AK handguard and mounts directly to most AK-47, AKM, and AK-74 rifles with barrel diameters of 16.75-18.25 mm under the handguard and barrel lengths greater than 13 inches. At an overall length of 11.70 inches, this extended handguard provides a large, repeatable gripping surface that supports modern shooting stances and consistent hand placement from shot to shot.

Integrated M-LOK slots run along the sides and bottom of the handguard, accepting a wide range of accessories including weapon lights, vertical grips, angled foregrips, and bipods. The ZHUKOV is also compatible with the UltiMAK gas tube rail, allowing low-profile optics mounting for shooters who prefer a red dot or magnifier over the traditional AK side mount.

Manufactured by Magpul Industries in the USA as model MAG586-PLM, the ZHUKOV handguard brings modern furniture functionality to the AK platform without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to the rifle.
