The MERC is a revolutionary patented Free Float rail and thermal isolation improvement to handguards for the AK platform. The MERC offers rock solid optics mounting and hand protection. Gloves are usually not required when deploying the MERC. The MERC is easily installed in less than 30 minutes with commonly available tools. Maximum Effectiveness - Reduced Complexity: The MERC is the New Standard for AK Handguards. This system works on stamped receiver AK-47/74s from Russia, Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Romania, Egypt, and China. It DOES NOT work on Yugos (ZASTAVA).

 

Milled receivers, and US made Century rifle fit:

We're now making barrel clamps for 18.5mm RSB journaled barrels!  This covers most milled receivers (except Sharps Bros in many cases), some Arsenal stamped guns, some of the SLR-107 variants, and all US made Century AKs.  To know for sure, watch THIS VIDEO.

See this YouTube video to see if your rifle is a good candidate!

    best way to modernize AK

    Posted by Bryan on Apr 8th 2020

    Installation isn't plug and play but if you're building from a kit, are able to depopulate a barrel yourself, or don't mind sending out to one of ODS's suggested 'smiths this handguard is a fantastic way to lighten up the front end and and add a ton of modern features as well as keep the handling surfaces cool. I love mine and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
