AK HAND GUARD GUIDE

Solo and ION or the two types of AK hand guards. The are the same ID/OD just a different shape.

EXT Type (Extended Handguards) are only in the ION type, and are in the EXT dropdown in the AK Handguard section of the Website.

EXT Handguards must use SLR Rifleworks Linear Comps or Linear Comps/ Suppressors that are 1.25" OD or under.

EXT Handguards are made for very specific types of AKs. The EXT section will list which AK type it is compatible with.

EXT Handguards are not yet available for 16" AK rifles (late 2019 tentatively).

HAND GUARD LENGTHS for AK RIFLES

Generally on AK rifles the 13.5" handguards will end at front of front sight (16" barrel)

Generally on AK rifles the 11.5" handguards will end up between gas block and front sight

(14.5" AK's will use 11.5" handguards (handguard will end a front of front sight)

Generally on AK rifles the 10.5" handguards will end at front of gas block (standard length gas system)

Lite handguards have no picatinny rails, just MLOK or Keymod full length sides and bottom

Mid handguards have built in picatinny up front left and right with MLOK or Keymod behind rails and full MLOK or Keymod on bottom

"A"version handguards have cut out for sling loop at hg retainer

"B" version handguards have cut out for sling loop at gas block (Chinese,C39 rifle, RAS 47 rifle)

"S" version handguards have no cut out for sling loops but still have relief for retainer in standard location

"M70" version handguards are only for M70 and M70 variants

REMOVING the sling loop off your AK's stock hand guard retainer will allow the use of "S" version hg's (M70 types will need to remove the entire retainer)

SLR AK handguards under 9" generally don't use the A, B or S designations

AK MOUNTS

The AK handguards require a mount to be selected during checkout (except Yugo/ Zastava are default included)

Mount types for each AK variation are listed in each hand guard listing

Sharps AK receivers use Mod 3 mounts on the Solo hand guards and the Sharps mount on Ion AK hand guards

SLR RAILED GAS TUBES

All AK handguards can be used with stock gas tube.

SLR Railed Gas Tubes are an option at check out, they must be used with SLR handguards

Most 16" AKs use our Full Length railed gas tube

(Vepr AKs and M70 AKs use their own type and we have options for those)

SLR AK RAILED GAS TUBES CAN BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY BY USING SEACH BAR AND TYPING IN "AK RAILED GAS TUBE"

Sometimes there are odd combos of mounts and gas tubes that are not listed together with certain hand guard lengths. These combinations can be ordered by phone.

The list below is updated regularly so if your specific AK is not listed please email us at Sales@slrrifleworks and we can help you determine what combination of HG, Mount and gas tube can be used.

-------

Micro Draco pistols and Century C39 Micro pistols use the AK 3.7" Handguards (pick the proper mount in the handguard listing)

Micro AKs do not have a gas tube so there is no gas tube option

Micro Dracos use the 4.7" EXT Handguard and 14mm Linear Comp

-------

Mini Draco pistols can use either the AK 5" or 5.4" Handguards. The 5" handguard will end flush with the front of the FSB. The 5.4" HG will cover about 1/2 of the muzzle threads.

NAK9 Pistols uses the AK ION 7.5" Lite M-LOK Handguard

The 7.5" handguard ends about even with the front of the FSB

The sling loop will need to be removed because it ends so close to the front of the handguard. If we kept the loop it protrudes right where your hand would rest and eliminates the use of rail panels on one side

The entire retainer can be removed but it's only necessary to remove the loop portion.

The NAK9 uses the 8.75" EXT Handguard

M92 / M85 pistols use three handguard lengths. (6.7" is by far the most popular)

AK 7.1' handguards require retainer removal and slight trimming of sling loop on FSB. 7.1 HG's go all the way to the front of the FSB.

AK 7.1" handguards are the preferred choice for M85 pistols

Choose the SLR M85 gas tube if using a M85

Choose Mod 5 mount for Yugo rifles
