Compatibility Notes
Designed primarily for Arsenal SLR-101S, SA M-5, SA M-7, SAM7R, and SAM7UF series rifles, as well as other mil-spec AK-pattern firearms. Stocks and additional furniture may require fitting on non-standard models.
FAQs
- Is this handguard compatible with my specific AK model? It fits mil-spec stamped receivers from Arsenal and similar manufacturers. Verify your rifle’s receiver type and furniture pattern before purchase, as non-standard AKs may need adjustments.
- Does it include a heat shield? This upper handguard is polymer-only without an integrated heat shield; pair it with a compatible lower handguard that includes one for full protection.
- Can I add rails or accessories later? The no-rail drop-in design prioritizes a slim profile. For mounting options, consider models with integrated Picatinny sections or aftermarket clamps.
