Ak-47/74 Short Stop Gen-3 Hand Guard M-Lok
The Texas Weapon Systems AK-47/74 Short Stop Gen-3 Hand Guard M-LOK is a modern, modular fore-end system built for shooters who want to maximize their AK platform's performance and accessory flexibility. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in hard black anodize, this hand guard integrates a coplanar top rail that keeps optics, night vision, and thermal devices properly aligned—critical for precision work at any distance. The design retains essential AK functionality, allowing you to install cleaning rods and bayonets without modification.
What sets the Gen-3 apart is its dual approach to modern shooting standards: the M-LOK slots let you mount lights, lasers, and other tactical gear where you need them, while the semi-floated design keeps the barrel free from contact that could affect accuracy. The ample ventilation holes cut weight and speed cooling during extended strings of fire—useful whether you're running drills at the range or out in the field. If you already run the Gen-3 Dog Leg Rail system, this hand guard pairs seamlessly as part of that integrated family.
The package includes both upper and lower hand guard sections, piston guide tube, barrel clamp, bushings, wedge clamps, mounting hardware, and the hex key you'll need for installation. It's engineered for AKM-type stamped receiver rifles with standard smooth front trunnions—check your rifle's configuration and barrel diameter (.670" ±.010" measured 1/4" before the rear sight block) before ordering.
