Magpul Zhukov-U Handguard Polymer Aluminum Chassis 10.20 Inch AK-Platform

The Magpul MAG680-BLK Zhukov-U Handguard is expertly designed to enhance the performance of your AK-platform rifle or pistol, offering a sleek black polymer exterior paired with a robust aluminum chassis that ensures both strength and effective heat dispersion. By reducing the length by 1.5 inches compared to the original Zhukov handguard, this model accommodates shorter barreled firearms while maintaining a lively front end for full-length rifles. Its injection-molded exterior provides superior ergonomics, allowing for a comfortable grip during extended use. The extended length of the Zhukov-U Handguard features M-LOK slots positioned at the three, six, and nine o'clock positions, enabling seamless attachment of M-LOK accessories or Picatinny rail sections for versatile customization. The hard anodized aluminum chassis clamps directly to the barrel, ensuring a flex-free mount that enhances stability and performance. Additionally, it includes a replacement polymer top cover compatible with the UltiMAK Optics Mount, making it an ideal choice for modern shooting techniques. Please note that installation requires the permanent removal of the factory hand guard retaining cap and forward sling mount, so ensure your barrel diameter falls within the specified range for optimal fit. Made in the USA, the Zhukov-U Handguard is a reliable upgrade for any serious shooter looking to enhance their firearm's functionality and ergonomics.
