The Magpul MOE AKM Handguard transforms standard AK rifles with enhanced ergonomics and modern modularity. This polymer handguard replaces factory wood furniture with a lightweight, durable alternative that maintains the AK's legendary reliability while adding contemporary functionality.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional wood handguards that can swell, crack, or loosen over time, the MOE AKM features reinforced polymer construction that maintains consistent zero and handling characteristics. The integrated heat shield protects the shooter's support hand during extended firing sessions, while the streamlined profile reduces snag points compared to bulky quad-rail systems. Weight reduction of approximately 4 ounces over standard wood furniture improves weapon balance without sacrificing structural integrity.Key Features
