Magpul moe extended handguard / plum - Magpul Industries MOE Extended Handguard, AK47/AK74

Installed on a WASR 10/63, Fits well, comfortable, tacticool. Installation is a bit of a chore, but doable. The piece that connects the gas block to the receiver on the AK has to be put into the top of the handguard backwards, then spun around to fit very snuggly into the correct place. This is in the instructions but can be a little confusing due to weird wording. Bottom of handguard DOES have a pre-installed heatshield. Most important to note is that the extended handguard covers the small block which holds the bottom in place to the receiver for no wiggle. On this particular AK, there was a steel sling loop jutting out that would NOT allow the bottom half of the handguard to install. So be warned if you have this sling loop on your handguard locking piece, its going to have to be California Non-Compliant. A dremel tool will do the trick. Possibly the non-extended MOE handguard will allow the loop to not get BTFOd. Magpul quality as always. After sighting-in and shooting the WASR, there was no problems with the handguard at all, it did not get too hot, it didnt wiggle or come loose, and its still very california compliant when not installed on a firearm. I knock one star simply because my installation was quite the chore, but your mileage will vary.
