    Magpul ZHUKOV Handguard AK47/AK74

    The Zhukov Handguard from Magpul offers a fully featured model that is well suited for the forearm of the AK47 and AK74. The Handguard itself addresses the issues that are common with the factory version and makes great improvements thanks to the extended option for use with modern techniques in shooting.
    You will need to remove the Handguard retainer in order to install this particular unit. The Handguard also features a chassis made from aluminum which adds much needed strength as well as an excellent heat dispersal effect to make it easier to hold the weapon when firing. You will also find an injection molded exterior which is very comfortable and ergonomically designed. The M-LOK® slots are a very well designed accessory attachment that helps complete the overall effectiveness of the Zhukov Handguard.

    The unit is compatible with Ultimak gas tube rail, so you can mount optics with ease and not interfere with the functioning of the Handguard itself There is little doubt that the Zhukov Handguard represents an advancement in technology and functionality that makes a clear and noticeable improvement for the AK platform.

    Magpul is a brand that produces high-quality products, and its Zhukov model is no exception. One feature that sets it apart is the M-LOK system, which allows you to attach various accessories closer to the bore's centerline. However, it does require you to remove the forward hand guard retainer using a Dremel tool. This is a permanent modification, so it's important to be sure you want to make this change before proceeding. If you decide to go ahead with it, plenty of YouTube videos from trusted sources such as Mr. Gunsngear, Brownells, Inc., Sootch00, and Armslist Media can help guide you through the process. Once you've installed the Zhukov, I recommend adding an Ultimak M1-B optic mount in place of the stock gas tube for versatility with optics, night lights, and other devices. Overall, I'm thrilled with this product and recommend it to others.

    I am happy with the Zhukov handguard and believe it was a worthwhile investment. As mentioned in a previous review, it works well in conjunction with installing an Ultimak gas tube optic rail. The handguard gives the rifle a more streamlined and tactical appearance, with the extended handguard partially concealing the gas tube. To install the handguard, it is necessary to remove the existing handguard retainer using a Dremel tool. This process can be quick and easy if you take your time when cutting. Additionally, I had to cut off my rifle sling to allow the aluminum handguard subframe to fit. Overall, the installation process took less than an hour.

    Nice fit and feel... except

    Installing the handguard was straightforward and did not present any significant issues. The only problem I encountered was that after installing the rails on the bottom, the small lip on the front of the handguard extended too far down and prevented me from adequately attaching the AFG and bipod. To fix this, I had to sand down a small portion of the guard. It was a simple solution, but it was surprising to encounter this issue, considering that all of the components were from the same brand, Magpul.

    “slight” fitting required

    I recently purchased a century VSKA, and while shooting, I noticed that the handguard became too hot to hold. To solve this issue, I decided to buy the Magpul Zhukov extended handguard in Plum color. As a newcomer to the AK platform and having done little research beforehand, I assumed that replacing the old handguard with the new one would be simple. However, this turned out not to be the case. I had to remove the "dog collar" from the original forend, cut the sling loop off the gas block, and even cut a portion of the aluminum bedding block to make everything fit together. Despite the difficulty of the installation process, I believe it was worth it because the handguard is both durable and pleasing to the eye. Overall, my experience with the AK platform has caused me to change my preferences - I used to be a fan of ARs, but now I have adopted a new style and affinity for vodka and cheap cigarettes.

    I am delighted with my purchase of this Magpul zhukov handguard. While installation may be complicated without a Dremel tool, it is relatively straightforward if you are skilled at DIY projects. It is important to note that you must modify your barrel before installing this handguard. I recommend watching YouTube videos to familiarize yourself with the process. Once installed, your AK47 will feel like a brand-new rifle. Overall, Magpul consistently produces high-quality products, and I highly recommend this handguard.

    I was tired of the old pic rails I had on my Ak, so after some research, I found this rail system. I love everything about it. The hardest part was cutting the sling point off. But with all that being said, I would recommend this to anyone looking for an Ak upgrade.

    Typical made in America Magpul quality. The handguard looks great. I’m actually using this on a kel-tec su16 and with a little work fits beautifully. I love Magpul parts and use them where ever I can. I dressed my gun up and added a lot of versatility.

    Perfect fit for my WASR-3. It makes it look like it is worth something! The long hand guard has a finely finished aluminum heat shield that bolts to the barrel and fits snugly. You will be glad you did.
