The Magpul Zhukov-U Polymer Handguard for AK47/AK74 platforms reduces length by 1.5″ compared to the standard Zhukov model, making it ideal for short-barreled rifles and pistols while maintaining nimble handling on full-length builds.

The Zhukov-U features the same durable aluminum chassis found in the original Zhukov for structural integrity and heat management, wrapped in injection-molded polymer for comfortable handling. M-LOK slots are integrated for mounting accessories, and the handguard is fully compatible with the UltiMAK gas tube rail. Installation requires removal of the handguard retainer. Made in U.S.A., this handguard counts as one US compliance part for 922(r).
