It doesn't fit Jack. It requires modification, cutting or shortening the lower handguard, or filing it down by about 3 mm. The upper gas tube bracket needs a wider notch for the metal shapes; I did this using a 1.5mm drill bit, which I heated in a flame and slid in the notch to widen it. The final step was lightly using a knife on the bottom at the front of the handguard so it wouldn't catch on the sheet metal. After the adjustments, it's great, but it took a lot of work to get it right.
Lightweight, robust handguard designed for AK-47/AKM/AK-74 carbines, constructed from reinforced polymer composite in black. Pre-drilled mounting holes support the installation of rails and tactical accessories utilizing the M-LOK standard.
.QD (Quick Detach) points for tactical sling attachment are located on both sides of the handguard. An anti-slip surface ensures a reliable hold. An integrated heat shield is included for protection, while additional ventilation holes enhance cooling of the gas tube.
.Installation is fast and straightforward, requiring no professional gunsmith services.

The handguard, especially the gas tube cover, requires a bit of filing to fit, otherwise the locking lever won't snap into place. After fitting, it sits perfectly.
-
The FAB Defense Vanguard M-LOK handguard is a solid and modern solution for the AK-47/AKM/AK-74. Lightweight construction, ergonomic grip, and M-LOK system allow accessory mounting. Great quality and fit.

Unfortunately, an attempt to fit it to a pac47 sporter straight out of the box was unsuccessful. A lot of filing is needed, and for the gas tube cover, you have to remove about 1.5 mm of material to close the tube's locking lever. The biggest advantage is the price.

Great stock - exceptionally ergonomic and durable. I have tested different stocks (Magpul, Zenitco, etc.) and not only is this one available at an exceptionally affordable price, but in my opinion it is also unbeatable for fighting use.

Fits on the Jack like crazy, but could be packed better than just thrown in a box with no protective foil. Well-made, they could make an extended version. That would be awesome.

Super quality, after slight fitting it sits on the Sadu AKM like a charm.
