NAR handguard for Saiga/AK

grabcad

Originally, I sketched this design as part of my CAD learning process. The primary motivation behind creating a custom handguard was the lack of a perfect fit in terms of aesthetics, comfort, and durability. This specific handguard is designed for Russian Saiga/AK-74/10X firearms; however, with minor adjustments, it could potentially work with most AK variants. The current design features clamps that secure around the barrel, although these are not shown in the illustration. In future iterations, I plan to develop a more user-friendly and cost-effective handguard that eliminates any gaps between the handguard and receiver, is more resilient against recoil forces, and offers greater compatibility across various AK platform versions.
