The Midwest Industries AK Alpha M-LOK Handguard 10" gives you serious modularity on an AKM platform rifle without the permanent modifications. Built for shooters who want to customize their AK's ergonomics and accessory mounting without welding, pinning, or irreversible changes, this 10-inch handguard drops in and stays put thanks to multiple contact points and a robust design that works with most stamped receiver AK47 and AK74 rifles. You keep your front handguard cap and sling loop intact, which means you're not committed to the setup forever.

What makes the Alpha series stand out is its flexibility. Want to run it as a full handguard? Done. Prefer just the bottom rail? Works. Planning to mount an optic or swap configurations? The Alpha is designed around that kind of back-and-forth. It's compatible with Midwest Industries' own Alpha red dot mounts and top covers, plus both MI and Ultimak railed gas tubes, so your upgrade path stays open. The included heat shield manages barrel heat without adding bulk, and the one five-slot Picatinny rail section gives you tactical real estate right out of the box.

Machined from 6061 aluminum and hardcoat anodized for durability in field conditions, the 10-inch Alpha tips the scales at just 11.4 ounces—light enough that it won't throw off your rifle's balance. M-LOK slots let you dial in exactly where you want your sling attachment points. One note: fit can require minor adjustment depending on your receiver size and handguard cap position, and it won't work on Yugo or milled receiver guns. Everything is made in the USA and backed by Midwest Industries' lifetime warranty.
