Good for the price, almost perfect fit... - AIM Sports Inc Yugo AK Keymod Handguard

Given the limited options for a yugo handguard, I will say up front that I like this unit. It's light, cheap, and easy to install. The fit wasn't perfect owing to the way the upper handguard contacted original handguard bracket on the gas tube, leaving a slight gap between the upper and lower handguard (on one side) after installation. Not entirely sure this is the manufacturer's fault, and I suppose it could be fixed with a visit from kindly Dr. Hammer. This fitment issue probably falls under "light gunsmithing required". However, the screws for securing the upper handguard to the lower handguard should be longer. I am quite aware of the fragility of Chinese screws and threaded aluminum receptacles, but wasn't able to get one of the screws even close to finger tight before it stripped the first few turns of threading out of the hole. If these screws were longer, they would achieve better purchase in the lower handguard before getting under tension, and the load would be distributed better. That said, the other three bit pretty well, though I didn't dare tighten them very much. I will try to find some longer screws.

Bottom line, the thing went on smartly, looks good, and feels as solid as an aluminum cheese grater can be expected to. If you're careful with your install, this isn't a bad way to dress up an N-Pap. I haven't shot it yet, but I assume it will percolate the heat from the barrel right into the old digits, so some rail panels might be a good idea.
