Alpha MLOK Handguard Overview
The alpha mlok handguard from Midwest Industries is a rugged, modular 10″ upgrade for AK-style rifles. Designed to fit most stamped AKM receivers, it installs as a drop-in component with no permanent modifications required.
Lightweight Yet Durable
This M-LOK AK handguard is CNC-machined from hard-coat anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, making it strong while weighing just 11.4 oz. As a result, it adds rigidity and stability without unnecessary bulk, ensuring your rifle stays maneuverable and dependable.
Modular Setup with MLOK Flexibility
The handguard supports multiple configurations. For example, it can be run full-length or as a bottom-only setup, and it pairs seamlessly with Alpha-series railed gas tubes and optic mounts. Therefore, shooters can adapt their setup for competition, duty, or range use.
Accessory Compatibility and Heat Control
M-LOK slots and a 1913 Picatinny rail provide ample mounting space for optics, lights, grips, or lasers. Moreover, multiple QD sling points ensure flexible carry options. In addition, the built-in heat shield dissipates barrel heat, keeping your rifle comfortable to handle during extended fire.
Quick Installation
This modular handguard mounts securely to AKM-pattern stamped receivers with minimal fitting. Furthermore, installation is completely reversible—no gunsmithing or permanent changes required.
