Texas Weapon Systems AKM/AK-47/AK-74 Gen-3 Short Top Handguard
So, to start out, if you are NOT comfortable grinding or doing some work to make these handguards fit, look elsewhere. If you don't mind slight grinding with a dremel and trust yourself to be handy, then continue on:
Fitment: Please note that this is all for the PSA AK-47. So keep that it mind!!! For the platform of my choice, it fits well but I had some issues getting it all to adjust right. It's a bit of a puzzle to get, but this isn't for a lego-gun -- I mean an AR. With most AK platforms, you likely expect to do some work. Read the instructions. Take your time. If everything doesn't fit, ...

Really solid and well made hand guard from Texas Weapon Systems. A little tricky to install to get perfect alignment (not too tricky), but great when finished. Directions provided could be slightly more detailed and less wordy to show proper fit (nitpicky). Combined with Gen-3 Rail and looks / functions great.
Pros:
Build quality
function and appearance
Cons:
installation
Would recommend: Yes

Put it on my cgr and it required some filing of parts to fit into the receiver. The one part that worries me before it shoot it is the gas tube that came with the package. Doesn’t fit all the way to the gas block. Cleaning rod also needed work to fit properly
Would recommend: Yes

Be patient when putting this rail or any rail on an ak. It required some hand fitting to get the screws on the top rail and bottom rail to line up. The gas tube was a little too long for my wasr3 ak chambered in 223. Once I got it fitted to the gun everything thing else went nice and smooth. I haven’t been able to go shooting with it on yet but I like how it feels and is fairly light. My only complaint is the pic rail on the bottom and I would prefer it to have a as swivel on the left and right side of the rail.
Would recommend: Yes

The quality out of the box is great. Since it is made for an AK, minor fitting was necessary but it amounted to nothing more than minor sanding. Something to note: If you have a side folder, you'll have to remove the stock locking tab from the receiver in order to install the wedge clamps included.
Pros:
Quality
Stability
Cons:
fitment
Would recommend: Yes

So out of the box the build quality is second to none. It looks great, feels great, and once it is attached, it is rock solid. Now the bad, it was not an east install. It was not bad, but for anyone that doesn't have 2 hrs test and fit it, I would steer clear. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It just was a lot of work with sanding the rear locking block to get it to fit correctly.
Pros:
great quality
Looks amazing
Sturdy construction
Cons:
A lot of fitment work
Would recommend: Yes
