RPK Extended Cerakoted Handguard by GPN

PURPOSE AND APPLICATION The long handguard for RPK (AA-10.10.100) is designed to replace the standard handguard on RPK-based machine guns (RPK-74). It provides increased rigidity of the front end of the weapon, improved ergonomics, and the ability to mount additional equipment without extra adapters thanks to the M-LOK interface. Suitable for: combat use; training use; weapon modernization and tuning; operation in harsh field conditions. Design and features The handguard consists of a main body and an upper cover (various configurations), which are connected to each other by spacer posts. The body features a one-piece CNC-machined base, a rear mounting interface, and a crescent-shaped front locking element. The adjustable crescent-shaped locking element allows precise fitting of the handguard to a specific weapon without any modifications. The upper cover is CNC-machined from aluminum and provides additional rigidity and protection. The design is intended for intensive use without loss of geometry or the development of play.
