Magpul Zhukov-U FDE AK-47/74 M-LOK Handguard

The Magpul Zhukov-U Hand Guard in Flat Dark Earth is a shorter version of Magpul's Zhukov AK handguard, about 1.5 inches shorter than the original. The shorter length fits shorter-barreled AKs and AK pistols and keeps the front of a full-size rifle light and quick. It also leaves room for a military-issue cleaning rod.

The polymer body rides on an aluminum chassis that also works as a heat shield between the gas tube and your hand. M-LOK slots on the sides and bottom take lights, lasers, grips, and hand stops. The top stays smooth so it does not interfere with the sight line.

It fits most AK-47, AK-74, and AKM pattern rifles, but not Yugo-pattern rifles or RPK-style receivers. Installation uses the factory handguard retainer, with no permanent changes to the rifle. See other AK handguards in our gun parts and accessories.
