The B5 Systems AK M-LOK Handguard in Plum (brand part no. AHS-1514) is a drop-in replacement for the handguard on standard AKM pattern stamped receivers. It adds multiple M-LOK attachment points to the forend, and the lower handguard carries an aggressive texture for a firmer hold. An integral stainless steel heat shield sits inside the shell, which is molded from durable composite. This B5 Systems part is made in the USA and fits the AKM stamped-receiver pattern, though the maker notes that because manufacturers’ tolerances vary, some fitment may be required. It suits an AK build that needs accessory mounting points without moving to a fully machined rail.
