Magpul Zhukov-U AK Handguard

The Zhukov-U Hand Guard shaves off 1.5” from the original Zhukov AK Handguard to accommodate shorter barreled rifles and pistols, and keeps the front end of full-length rifles a little more lively.

Features:

• M-LOK® slots for optimized accessory attachment
• Durable polymer outer handguard with a hard anodized aluminum chassis
• 1.5″ Shorter than standard Zhukov handguard
• Ventilated gas tube cover
• Made in the USA

Compatibility:

• Optimized for short barrel AKM / AK type rifles
• Compatible with SBRs and AK pistols with standard-length gas systems
• Compatible with military issue cleaning rods
• Compatible with stamped and milled receivers
• Compatible with the Ultimak gas tube rail
• Not compatible with Yugo pattern rifles or RPK style receivers

Note:

• Due to extended Handguard length, barrels less than 11.5” long are not recommended
• The Zhukov-U Hand Guard requires the permanent removal of the factory hand guard retaining cap and forward sling mount
• Please ensure your barrel diameter under the hand guard falls between 16.75-18.25 millimeters before cutting your retaining cap
• Due to the wide range of tolerances of your typical AK, minor additional fitting may be required
• Handguard counts as one US compliance part for 922(r)
