Designed to be backward compatible with the older Gen-2 Dog Leg Rail system the Gen-2.5 Hand
Guard offers greater levels of functionality, modularity, and durability. The
co-planar top rail keeps all accessories such as optics, night vision, or
thermal devices properly aligned. For additional functionality the Gen-2.5 handguard is also M-LOK compatible. The semi-floated hand guard design minimizes
barrel disturbance while the ample ventilation holes assure the quickest
cooling and minimize weight. Critical AK functionality is retained by allowing
the installation of the cleaning rod and bayonet.
