Description

The TWS Short Top Handguard Gen-3 for AK-47/AKM/AK-74 (Black, Hardcoat Anodized) is a premium modular upgrade from Texas Weapon Systems, designed as part of their integrated Gen-3 system to deliver superior functionality, modularity, and durability on standard Russian-pattern AK platforms.
