It's a tight fit on my century arms knack 9X but it looks great and does a terrific job of keeping the heat off of your hand during extended range sessions. I was very pleased with the texture ring on the grip it seems to me to be very high quality

This handguard is a great product, was able to fit it easy on my Century Arms C39V2 without having to do any modification, installing M LOKs on this handguard was really easy, ergonomics was also really good have a good feeling when holding the rifle, would highly recommend to those looking to improve their AK47….

Installed on a WASR 10/63, Fits well, comfortable, tacticool. Installation is a bit of a chore, but doable. The piece that connects the gas block to the receiver on the AK has to be put into the top of the handguard backwards, then spun around to fit very snuggly into the correct place. This is in the instructions but can be a little confusing due to weird wording. Bottom of handguard DOES have a pre-installed heatshield. Most important to note is that the extended handguard covers the small block which holds the bottom in place to the receiver for no wiggle. On this particular AK, there was a steel sling loop jutting out that would NOT allow the bottom half of the handguard to install. So be warned if you have this sling loop on your handguard locking piece, its going to have to be California Non-Compliant. A dremel tool will do the trick. Possibly the non-extended MOE handguard will allow the loop to not get BTFOd. Magpul quality as always. After sighting-in and shooting the WASR, there was no problems with the handguard at all, it did not get too hot, it didnt wiggle or come loose, and its still very california compliant when not installed on a firearm. I knock one star simply because my installation was quite the chore, but your mileage will vary.

This fit my Century Arms BFT47 with no modifications required. It went into place easily with a rubber mallet and was a HUGE upgrade from my wood!

Great product! Well made and good quality. However, be aware if you intend to utilize this hand guard on a Mak-90 gun, it requires CAREFUL hand fitting, filing, cutting…and more of the same. Go slowly and test fit often; it is easy to remove too much and create a loose fit. I had to hand-fit both the top guard (a bit too long in length)and the bottom as well. REMEMBER: take your time and you will have a near perfect fit resulting in a good, serviceable, replacement hand guard.Also, the heat shield in the lower hand guard fits really tight to the gas block on a Mak-90. I eventually had to Dremel and remove the "dimples" from inside the heat shield to achieve a proper fit on the gas block.The key to proper installation is to TEST FIT OFTEN – then continue with reduction of the polymer for a proper fit to the gun.The order process was flawless and I am very happy with the product! Great service and quick shipping, too!Good luck!MKH
