B5 Systems AK Handguard Black
The B5 Systems AK Handguard in Black is made for AK owners who want a cleaner, more comfortable front-end upgrade with modern accessory mounting. Designed for standard AKM pattern stamped receivers, this drop-in handguard adds M-LOK attachment points, improved grip texture, and a built-in heat shield while keeping the rifle’s profile simple and practical.
The black color is the most versatile option in the lineup. It blends well with factory furniture, black stocks and grips, optics, sling hardware, and mixed-color AK builds.
Built for Standard AKM Pattern Rifles
This handguard is designed as a drop-in upgrade for standard AKM pattern stamped receivers. It is a practical choice for users who want to replace factory furniture without turning the rifle into a bulky rail-heavy setup.
AK rifles can vary by manufacturer and configuration, so fitment should always be checked before ordering. If your rifle uses a non-standard pattern, milled receiver, or unique furniture setup, confirm compatibility first.
M-LOK Mounting Without Extra Bulk
The B5 AK Handguard gives you M-LOK attachment points for adding compatible accessories where you need them. You can set up your rifle with a light, sling mount, hand stop, rail section, or other compatible gear while keeping unused areas smooth and comfortable.
Compared with a full Picatinny handguard, this setup keeps the rifle slimmer and easier to handle. It gives you modern mounting flexibility without changing the feel of the AK more than necessary.
Comfortable Grip and Heat Protection
The lower handguard has aggressive texture to give your support hand a more secure feel. That extra grip can make a noticeable difference when handling the rifle, especially during longer range sessions or when running accessories.
An integral stainless steel heat shield helps protect your hand from heat buildup and adds confidence when shooting more than a few rounds at a time.

Why Choose Black?
Black is the easiest color to match across most AK setups. It works with classic black furniture, mixed-color builds, modern optics, metal magazines, sling hardware, and aftermarket stocks.
Choose the black version if you want a clean, universal look that fits almost any rifle style. It is also a smart choice if you want the handguard to look natural on the rifle rather than stand out.
A Practical Upgrade from Factory Furniture
Factory AK handguards are simple, but they do not always give you the grip texture, heat protection, or mounting options many shooters want. This B5 handguard keeps the rifle familiar while making it more useful.
If you want a black AKM handguard with M-LOK slots, a comfortable grip surface, durable composite construction, and a built-in heat shield, this model is a strong upgrade.

Refresh Your AK with a Better Handguard Setup
A solid AK can run for years, but the factory handguard is not always ideal for comfort, heat control, or adding accessories. Upgrading to a modern AK-47 handguard gives your rifle a better front-end feel with more room for lights, grips, sling mounts, rail covers, and other practical upgrades.
Mounts Plus carries AK handguards for AK47, AKM, and AK74 rifles, including M-LOK handguards, Picatinny rail handguards, quad rail systems, polymer options, and tactical handguard upgrades. Whether you are cleaning up an older AK or building a more modern rifle, the right handguard can make the whole setup feel stronger, cleaner, and easier to control.
