Aluminum Handguard for AKSU / Krink – AK Alpha Series Krink M-LOK Handguard – Midwest Industries

The Midwest Industries MI-AK-ALPHA-BKM is part of the modern Alpha Series, specifically designed for Krink-pattern AK firearms, including Bulgarian-pattern AK Krinks and PSA models. If you want to upgrade the appearance, functionality, and ergonomics of your Krink, this handguard offers versatile customization options without requiring permanent modifications to the firearm.

Manufactured from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, precision CNC-machined, and finished with a hard-coat anodized coating, the handguard is lightweight and resistant to corrosion, scratches, and heat. A heat shield is included to help protect the shooter's hand from hot gases and heated handguard surfaces. This helps maintain comfort even during extended shooting sessions.

The handguard features a drop-in design for Krink-pattern firearms, meaning installation does not require cutting, soldering, or other permanent modifications. However, minor fitting around the receiver cap or the inside of the handguard may occasionally be necessary if the firearm has non-standard dimensions. Multiple contact points provide a secure attachment, improving structural rigidity and minimizing movement during use.

The handguard also features multiple QD (Quick Detach) sling attachment points, allowing convenient sling attachment for carrying the firearm. M-LOK slots run along the sides and bottom, providing mounting options for accessories such as weapon lights, foregrips, and laser aiming devices. This allows you to configure your Krink to suit your needs, whether for tactical, competitive, or general-purpose use.

The product is manufactured entirely in the USA and is backed by Midwest Industries' lifetime warranty, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in its durability, even under demanding use.
