Picked up the 9 inch rail for a 10.5 Andro Corp upper. The barrel nut is quite thick regardless of if steel or aluminun, was impressed by the inclusion of anti-rotation tabs screws. The screws themselves aren’t great so likely best if you plan to install without switching to something else down the line. Only real complaint is that this left a small gap between the rail and receiver, a big drawback for some but small enough to not bother me. No issues at all after about 300rds, retained lock up
I normally love UTGs well-priced products but this one just isn’t a viable option for serious use. The lack of a heat shield means this heats up to an unusable degree after only about 100rds or less. Gloves will only help for so long, you’ll definitely feel it through them. This initially went on a 5.56 PSAK, cant imagine it would do much better on 7.62. B5 Systems handguard is a better option due to the integrated heat shield and easier install. Can only suggest this for an AKV or a small caliber AK.
This product is installed utilizing a spacer system that fits between the handguard and receiver, all hardward was included. The system makes this handguard pretty easy to install on both domestic and imported AKM platform rifles and is VERY solid. I've had good luck with UTG in the past and this is no difference. Also, the lightning cuts and overall design of this rail are very nice and give the AKM a slick and modernized feel. The additional mlok slots on the upper handguard around the gas tube is great. Would absolutely buy again.
