Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between MOE and M-LOK?
A: “MOE” refers to the style, while “M-LOK” refers to the mounting system. Most current MOE handguards are M-LOK compatible.
Q: Is the Zhukov handguard longer than the MOE AK version?
A: Yes. The Zhukov handguard extends further forward, offers more mounting space, and is better suited for tactical AK builds.
Q: Will these work with gas piston ARs or free-float barrels?
A: No. Magpul’s drop-in handguards are made for standard direct impingement AR-15s using delta ring systems.
Q: Can I install a Magpul handguard myself?
A: In most cases, yes. AR-15 and AK handguards are drop-in or require basic tools. Shotgun forends may require a forend wrench.
