I have a RPK (AES 10-B) that I bought a few years ago and i have recently changed out the stock and it has an AR adaptor with a magpul stock and a US palm grip.  But it still has the wood handguard so it looks stupid and half done because i cant find a damn non-wood handguard!  I saw damage industries had said they were coming out with one for the RPK but I'm guessing thats not gonna happen now.  And i believe I saw one by MAKO that is like 275 bucks, which is too much for me and i dont like the looks of it.  Anyway does anyone know where I could get a non-wood hand guard and it doesn't have to have rails on it.

thanks in it advance

Yes sir I saw that one also. But it doesn't address the gas tube portion.  And its plum.  Sorry I should have given a little more detail.  I would like to get rid of all the wood out front and to use something black if possible.

IIRC, doesn't the RPK gas tube use the same as a standard AK? I could be wrong. I also can't remember what the difference in length (if any) on the lower there is. Been awhile since I had an RPK.

It looks stupid because you put an AR stock on it.

You can use any AKM/AK-74 upper handguard. It doesn't need to be RPK specific. Get this, dye it black, profit:

Other than that, you're more than likely SOL.

For a pic of the rpk, you know for reference.

Have you tried the Hogue over-molded grip? Comes with 2 gas tube handguards as well.
