[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Handguard change?

Posted: 9/25/2012 1:15:55 PM EDT

Got a Hungarian AMD65, can I change the stock handguard lower to a poly lower handguard from K-var? The vertical grip has been driving me nuts.

I answered in discussions.

ETA-

The lower handguard will fit with minor modification. Something like the Tapco Galil style should fit without any modification.

It really is a piece of cake to get a standard one on there.

The Hogue will fit without any mods.

Going to order a poly bulgy lower handguard from kvar and leave the gas tube alone.

I had been thinking about the Hogue, I'll be interested in hearing what's involved in the swap and what the finished project looks like. Please post a follow-up when you get done.

I'm on my 5th H/G setup ((1) stock, (2) Midwest Industries, (3) E. German, (4) Bulgarian AK74 wood and now (5) Arsenal Bulgarian plastic w/metal insert heat shield. Now matched with Ultimak upper tube/handguard. All lower H/Gs worked well, with minor dremel mods required for (3), (4) and (5).
