The Magpul MOE AK Handguard transforms standard AK rifles with a lightweight polymer upgrade that eliminates the traditional wooden furniture's bulk and maintenance requirements. This drop-in replacement handguard provides enhanced ergonomics and modern functionality while maintaining the AK platform's legendary reliability.
