They don’t get a lot of press and it’s undeserved. The Manticore Arms MA-12350 Extended Alfa Rail Keymod forend for the standard pattern AK offers tremendous flexibility to place additional components.Īnother manufacturer of high end rail systems comes from a small firm called Manticore which makes a variety of products such as top covers, extended rails and forends. Attach optics and accessories to the top Picatinny Rail. Machined from hardened aircraft aluminum with stainless steel components and finished in MIL-SPEC hardcoat anodizing. Cooling holes allow the rail to run cool, even after extended firing. Replaces factory handguards easily no gunsmithing required. Others may need some minor modification to fit properly. Will work with some Bulgarian, Romanian and Egyptian lower handguard retainers. Handguards will fit stamped receiver AKs (not milled receiver). Machined from hardened aircraft aluminum with stainless steel components and finished with a MIL-SPEC hardcoat anodizing, these rails are light and sleek. Railed Gas Tube will fit Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian, some Chinese, US and other variants with a standard length gas tube.
#TACTICAL AK 47 QUAD RAIL HANDGUARDS SERIES#
One of the newests products on the scene is the TROY iM-LOK series of rails for AK-47. Troy makes a sleek, very futuristic looking M-LOK rail for the AK priced at $125. In my opinion, Krebs Custom sets the standard.
You can get handguards from other manufacturers such as Midwest Industries for less but they are not in the same class.
The upper rail section is easily removed by pinching two springs, pulling the upper section rearward, then up and off the rifle. One additional attribute: It’s also the only KeyMod rail that can be field-stripped. When I put it through its paces, it never got warm enough to be uncomfortable. It also doesn’t get hot when you are putting multiple rounds through it. It’s as if the handguard is an extension of the receiver. Unlike a conventional handguard/quad rail, which has all the comfort of a pineapple, the Krebs UFM is sleek, thin and quite comfortable to grip. The ergonomics of this handguard are noteworthy. (The instructions explain all.) Krebs also manufactures a shorter version of the UFM for AK rifles. The kit consists of Allen wrenches, bolts, a barrel clamp to secure the handguard and a couple of small angle irons that don’t quite look like they belong. Key to the set up process is squaring the handguard’s clamp (done easily with a level) with the receiver to ensure that the unit fits perfectly. Krebs provides a set of aluminum angle irons that allow you to clamp down a fixture on the barrel without destroying the finish. Installation of the UFM is not difficul and ttakes about 30 minutes. TDI, an Israeli company manufactures this traditional handguard with a modern twist–it has two mini side rails and a lower pic rail that will allow you to mount just about anything. If you need to affix a vertical grip or a light, simply slap your own rail and cinch it down exactly where you want it. The beauty of KeyMod is that you add weight only when necessary. Constructed with 6065 T6 aluminum, there are no Picatinny rails bulging out. By definition KeyMod handguards are light because the fat is trimmed.
There are several features that differentiate the Krebs UFM system from other products.įirst off is its KeyMod configuration. This one is fitted with a vertical Tapco Grip. Krebs Custom VEPR UFM KeyMod Handguard from Krebs Custom is available for the Saiga and VEPR. For someone who needs accessories, tactical handguards offer a place to mount optics, grips, lights and other items.
