Magpul Industries ZHUKOV Handguard AK-47/AKM/AK-74 M-LOK Polymer 11.7" Black

The Magpul ZHUKOV Handguard is a fully-featured replacement forearm for the modern AK, designed and manufactured in the USA by Magpul Industries. Built from durable polymer in a black finish, this 11.7" handguard updates the classic AK platform with improved ergonomics, better heat protection, and a full-length M-LOK accessory mounting interface.

The ZHUKOV mounts to most AK-47/AKM/AK-74 pattern rifles with barrel diameters between 16.75-18.25mm under the handguard and barrel lengths greater than 13". Its extended length gives the support hand a secure, indexed grip, while the aggressive texture and palm swell provide solid recoil management during rapid fire. Integrated M-LOK slots along the sides and bottom allow the direct attachment of lights, lasers, foregrips, and other accessories without the need for a separate rail system.

This handguard ships with a replacement polymer top cover that is compatible with UltiMAK Optics Mount top covers, allowing co-witnessed optic mounting in the original AK top-cover position. At 15.10 oz, the ZHUKOV adds meaningful support-hand real estate and modularity without dramatically shifting the rifle's balance.
