Midwest Industries AK Alpha 6in Quad Rail Handguard

The Midwest Industries AK Alpha 6-inch Quad Rail Handguard (brand part no. MIAKALPHAQR6) is a next-generation drop-in handguard developed for full configuration flexibility on the AK platform. It works as a full handguard, a bottom-handguard-only setup, or alongside MI’s AK Alpha Series optic and top cover accessories and railed gas tube configurations. The adjustable design fits most AKM firearms with stamped receivers, and a heat shield is included with every AK Alpha Series handguard to protect hands from barrel heat. Multiple QD points give shooters fast sling attachment options, and the full 1913 Picatinny rail space spans the handguard for mounting lights, grips, or other accessories. For AK owners who want modern rail real estate without a permanent modification, this AK handguard drops right in.
