Decent, but had some fitment issues by Robert Townsend, Verified Owner, December 20, 2021
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 i...

Ak’ are not one size fits all! by Kevin, Verified Owner, November 16, 2023
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 e...

Product Info for Texas Weapon Systems AKM/AK-47/AK-74 Gen-3 Short Top Handguard

Designed as part of an integrated system the Gen-3 Hand Guard offers greater levels of functionality, modularity, and durability. The co-planar top rail keeps all accessories such as optics, night vision, or thermal devices properly aligned. For additional functionality the Gen-3 Hand Guard is also M-LOK compatible. The semi-floated hand guard design minimizes barrel disturbance while the ample ventilation holes assure the quickest cooling and minimize weight. Critical AK functionality is retained by allowing the installation of the cleaning rod and bayonet.image
