Magpul MOE AKM Polymer Handguard with M-LOK Interface for AK-47/AKM/AK-74
The Magpul MOE AKM Polymer Handguard with M-LOK interface for AK-47/AKM/AK-74 is a modern upgrade for AK platforms that combines improved ergonomics, lightweight construction, and accessory mounting capability without losing the rifle’s classic appearance. It enhances handling comfort and expands functionality without significantly increasing overall weight.
Construction and Protection:
Reinforced polymer:
Made of high-strength polymer resistant to impact loads and extreme temperatures.
Heat shield:
A steel heat shield with a protective coating is integrated into the lower section, efficiently dissipating barrel heat and protecting the shooter’s hand during sustained fire.
Ergonomic profile:
The widened shape and front lip design ensure a secure grip and prevent the hand from slipping onto the hot gas block or barrel.
AKM model features:
Sling swivel compatibility:
Unlike the standard MOE AK version, the AKM model includes a cutout for the factory sling swivel. This allows installation on rifles with the original retaining ring featuring a sling loop without any weapon modifications.
Complete set:
The package includes a lower handguard section and an upper gas tube cover, forming a unified ergonomic surface.
M-LOK system:
The handguard features a 7-slot M-LOK system positioned at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, allowing direct mounting of accessories or via Picatinny rails.
This provides flexible weapon customization for different operational needs.
