Game changer by AZ, May 6, 2020
I was hesitant going with the Zhukov-U because I learned it required removing the hand guard retainer clip. I hoped on YouTube and found AK enthusiast PPhenix PPhenix who talks you through the process of moding the Zhukov heat shield instead of cutti...

Fits Draco by Jtgarner07, January 21, 2018
Got this for my Draco SBR to replace my Ultimak rail. This is much lighter and has less sharp edges, but with the m-lok it still has all the mounting options I need for the light and sling mount. Installation was pretty easy, even with the Ultimak ra...

looks great by josh, Verified Owner, February 15, 2025
The only pain of the install was cutting off the piece that holds the stock handguard in place otherwise it’s perfect on my VSKA

Permanent Rifle modification required by Shibo1989, Verified Owner, December 15, 2024
Nothing really wrong with the hand guard, I only returned it because install was going to require me to cut off the hand guard mount. This would alter the rifle permanently. I didn’t realize it upon purchase.

Zhukov U, Cleaning Rod & Accessories by Brandon, September 26, 2022
I originally had the first version of the Zhukov. Didn't like that I couldn't put in the cleaning rod. Now, with the Zhukov U I can put on the cleaning rod! BUT, now there's no room for any m-lok accessories on the bottom rail. The cleaning rod gets ...

Product Info for Magpul Industries Zhukov-U Hand Guard, AK47/AK74

The Zhukov-U Hand Guard shaves off 1.5" from the original Zhukov AK Hand Guard to accommodate shorter barreled rifles and pistols, and keeps the front end of full length rifles a little more lively. The shorter version also allows us to accommodate the military issue cleaning rods, so you don't have to give that up to get the benefits of the Zhukov anymore! The Zhukov-U shares the same type of sturdy aluminum chassis as the longer standard Zhukov for strength and heat mitigation sheathed in a comfortable, injection molded exterior for superior ergonomics. The Zhukov-U includes M-LOK slots for accessory attachment, and is fully compatible with the UltiMAK gas tube rail. Installation requires removing handguard retainer. FEATURES - 1.5" shorter than standard Zhukov hand guard - Fits stamped and milled AK-47/AK-74 rifles with standard-length gas systems* - Optimized for short barrel rifles such as AK-102, AK-104, & AK-105 - Full-length aluminum chassis for strength and rigidity - Heat shield relieved to accept standard AK cleaning rod - Durable polymer outer Hand Guard - M-LOK slots for accessory attachment - Extended length for modern shooting techniques - Vented gas tube cover - UltiMAK compatible *NOTE: The Zhukov-U Hand Guard requires the permanent removal of the factory hand guard retaining cap and forward sling mount if so equipped. Please ensure your barrel diameter under the hand guard falls between 16.75-18.25 millimeters before cutting your retaining cap! Due to the wide range of tolerances of your typical AK, minor additional fitting may be required. Not compatible with Yugo pattern rifles or RPK style receivers. WARNING: Due to extended Hand Guard length, barrels less than 11.5" long are not recommended.image
