Decent, but had some fitment issues - 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, take a look at the gas tube that comes with it. I had to grind -- briefly -- about a millimeter or more just to get the handguards to align properly. The top and bottom are, as you'd expect, two different pieces. The bottom wasn't really an issue, but getting the top to line up so you could fit in the bolts that came with it to secure the top and bottom together was off-set JUST slightly. The solution? Grind a little off the back part of the gas-tube that faces the receiver of the weapon itself.

Ease of configuration: Much like fitment, this took some time to get MY head around. Specifically with getting the blocks that stuff into the receiver then tighter and help prevent rattling of the handguards. Basically it ensures a more secure fit. My recommendation is to tighter the bolts into the two wedge-like blocks JUST enough to thread them, then slide them in that way. After which, when you get the handguards completely in-line and bolted down, then go back and tighten them up. Though, I do feel like slightly longer bolts would have been better for this. Oh well.

Appearance: Really sleek appearance. I like it. It added to my AK-47 platform well and gave it a nice, refined look. M-lok sides with picatinny rails on the top and bottom are also nice.

Feel & comfort: This added some much needed length on the receiver that the magpul handguard just didn't add for me. The shorter one that is. These reach out closer to the bayonet attachment point and are just long enough for my arms to add that thumb-over pull. Even with some bipod attachments on the front, I still have enough room for a foregrip if I desired it. This is with a full-length barrel and is not a short barrel, I should note.

Weight: It's metal, so it has some weight, but nothing noticeable in comparison.
