Alpha Quad Rail Handguard Overview

The alpha quad rail handguard from Midwest Industries modernizes your AK platform with a versatile, ultra-rigid accessory rail. Finished in olive drab green, this all-American engineered piece drops in with no permanent modifications and delivers a flat-out upgrade to function and style.

Rugged Yet Lightweight

Made from hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum and designed with multiple contact points, this handguard stays firmly locked to your rifle during even the most punishing use Weighing just 13.3 oz in the 10″ version, it brings rail-level strength without the heft.

Modular Picatinny Design

The full-length 1913 Picatinny rail gives you expansive placement for optics, lights, grips, backups—wherever you need them. Moreover, multiple QD sling attachment points allow flexible carry options tailored to your setup

Snag-Free and Heat-Managed

Each kit comes with a specialized heat shield built into the design. As a result, you get effective heat dissipation during extended firing, while the sleek profile minimizes snags in tight environments

Quick Installation, Zero Permanent Changes

This quad rail handguard installs easily onto most AKM stamped receivers. In addition, it requires no gunsmithing or permanent alterations—so you can try it out and swap back as needed
