This last year we put down our ARs and picked up our AKs. We have spent a tremendous amount of time going over our current AK handguard offerings, and looking at what new optic mounting solutions as well as features we could bring to the Kalashnikov styles of rifles. We spoke to shooters in the industry and spent lots of time at the range. All of this with the goal of making the best AK handguard on the market. With all of that said we are proud to introduce our Gen II AK handguard series.

Better attachment method? The main differences are. Smooth receiver transition ( for those who care ) Addition of another anti rotation feature Full length narrow top cover on extended versions The gen1 models will perform on the same level we just enhanced some things and Made a few Minor improvements.

We typically field strip the gun and fill the gas tube with bore foam muzzle down . Gets the tube sparkly clean with no need to fully remove it . Troy MI |

Casual shooting will not cook your hands. Mag dumps with the short hand guards can heat them up. Gloves or panels or a combination may be required if you are going to run a bunch of mags non stop. We have sold these non stop since they were released and have a few dozen being run for range guns and instructors guns. We have had no complaints.
