Almost done with the mods! Shoutout to Dave from hical.ca for showing me how they did their T81 for the Zhukov to fit. Took an afternoon but pretty straight forward. My goal was to "modernize" the rifle but with proper methods so it can be a SHTF rifle and not just for the range.
- Magpul AK MOE+ grip
- Magpul Zhukov U handguard
- removed wood panel from top handguard and trimmed to fit the Magpul lower handguard
- refinished bolt carrier with black PVD/DLC
The handguard mounts the way it should on an AK and is rock solid. No shims or washers needed like with the vz58. The top handguard steel portion clears the magpul barrel clamps by 5mm, and the piston spring clears them by 2mm.
