Magpul Zhukov-U AK Handguard, Flat Dark Earth 10.20 Inch

The Magpul Zhukov-U Hand Guard (brand part number MAG680-FDE) shaves 1.5 inches off the standard Zhukov to suit shorter-barreled AK rifles and pistols, while still keeping the front end of a full-length rifle light and lively. Finished in Flat Dark Earth over a full-length, hard-anodized aluminum chassis, it measures 10.20 inches and clamps directly to the barrel for a flex-free mount with real heat shielding. M-LOK slots at the three, six, and nine o’clock positions accept direct-attach accessories or Picatinny rail sections, and the shorter design still leaves clearance for a military-issue cleaning rod. It ships with a replacement polymer top cover included.
