Will these handguards fit all AK-47 rifles?

Most handguards are designed for stamped receiver AKM-pattern rifles. Always verify compatibility with your specific AK variant (e.g., Yugo, Romanian, Bulgarian).

What is the difference between M-LOK, KeyMod, and Picatinny?

M-LOK and KeyMod are modular rail systems for lightweight mounting of accessories. Picatinny rails offer full-length, fixed mounting options ideal for heavy-duty gear.

Do these handguards come with mounting hardware?

Yes. All handguards include necessary hardware for installation and are designed for user-friendly, drop-in mounting when possible.

Can I install these handguards myself?

In most cases, yes. Basic tools are typically all that’s needed. Some models may require slight fitting or adjustment depending on your AK's tolerance.

What’s the best handguard for a tactical AK-47 build?

If you're building a tactical AK, look for M-LOK or Picatinny handguards made of aluminum, such as those from Samson or FAB Defense, for strength and modularity.
