Description
Magpul Zhukov-U handguard in plum polymer with an aluminum chassis. It is a shortened option that removes 1.5 in from the standard Zhukov AK handguard length to suit shorter barreled AK rifles and pistols. The aluminum chassis is hard anodized and designed for flex-free mounting and heat shielding, while the outer offers injection-molded ergonomics and M-LOK mounting at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.
Key features

- Polymer exterior with aluminum chassis for strength and heat dispersion

- M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions for direct-attach accessories
