Maybe this the wrong place to post(correct me if it is) this but I recently bought(just picked up on Monday) a PSA AK-V and would like to get some wood handguards for it. This pistol is built like a brick shithouse by the way
Any thoughts on handguards?? .

OP, your title said AK-P (7.62) but in post it said AK-V (9mm), if you are asking about the AK-V, I'm in the process to change out the Magpul furniture to laminated wood. Upper and lower handguard pieces fit right in. Still waiting for a long screw to install the wood grip. I got a folding brace coming from PSA but almost tempted to get a triangle brace from Bonesteel and rig up something to work. AK-47 laminate stock set from Centerfire Systems fits well, but need to get lower hand guard tension spring and grip screw, these are on order from RTG.
As far as 'brick $hit house' goes, yes indeed
, she is a tanker. Function test fired 300 rds yesterday and the only ammo it had a few fail to feed was my 124 JHP hand loads (a little long in OAL so was choking up at the feed ramp, not the gun's problem), the rest of the test went great with 115 gr Sellior & Bellot FMJ and Freedom Munitions 124 gr XTP JHP.
Trigger needs to be replaced with something better, I can work with AK triggers but the travel on this one is way too long. I'm looking at the RAK-1 double hook and AGL, not sure which one I want to spend the $ on, maybe I'll bite the bullet and get the Power Custom adjustable trigger (have one in the 74 and it is fantastic).
In a nutshell, the AK-V is another money pit in the making
- PAS brace - $200, Woodies furniture - $50, incoming trigger +/- $30-$90.
AK 47 Laminated Stock Set - $39.99
