AK-47/AKM/AK-74 – Handguard – MOE AKM M-LOK – Color Options


PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS AND FITMENT BEFORE PURCHASE.

The Magpul MOE AKM Hand Guard is a polymer replacement handguard for standard stamped-receiver AK-47, AKM, and AK-74 pattern rifles. It gives the rifle a cleaner modern grip surface, M-LOK accessory mounting, an integrated stainless-steel heat shield, and a matching replacement gas tube cover without turning the rifle into a science project.

This is the AKM-pattern version with the left-side cutout for handguard retainer plates with an integral sling loop. AK fitment matters. Guessing here is how a simple handguard turns into a bench vise therapy session.


Available Options

  • Flat Dark Earth
  • Plum

Fitment

  • Fits standard stamped-receiver AK-47, AKM, and AK-74 pattern rifles.
  • Designed as a direct replacement for original stamped-receiver AK-47/AKM/AK-74 wooden or plastic handguards.
  • Uses the existing front handguard retaining cap with or without sling loop.
  • Left-side cutout accommodates handguard retainer plates with an integral sling loop.
  • Accepts the factory cleaning rod when properly installed.
  • Compatible with the UltiMAK optics mount top cover setup per Magpul’s product details.

Does NOT Fit

  • Does not fit Yugo pattern rifles.
  • Does not fit RPK-style receivers.
  • Does not fit milled receivers.

What It Does

  • Replaces the original AK-pattern lower handguard and upper gas tube cover.
  • Adds M-LOK accessory mounting for direct-attach accessories or M-LOK rail sections.
  • Improves support-hand purchase with an extended gripping surface.
  • Helps protect the support hand with a front lip, side extensions, and stainless-steel heat shield.

Why It’s Worth It

The MOE AKM handguard is a clean upgrade for stamped AK-pattern rifles that need modern accessory mounting without losing the classic AK shape. Small upgrade, useful payoff. It gives you better handling, more mounting options, and heat protection where your support hand actually lives.
