CRC 1U098-MIL | Short Handguard for PK/PKM
CRC 1U098-MIL — a short handguard with a quick-release top cover and M-LOK attachment points for PK/PKM machine guns. The quick-release top cover allows for rapid barrel changes and continued operation.

This handguard upgrades the machine gun and makes the forend area more utilitarian by providing attachment points for forward/transfer grips, bipods, weapon lights, or aiming modules.
The handguard features M-LOK interfaces at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions, and also includes 45° M-LOK slots on the bottom section for mounting carrying/forward handles at a more ergonomic angle.
The CRC 1U098-MIL allows retention and use of the factory bipods on the PK/PKM. If you do not intend to keep the factory bipods, consider the CRC 1U099-MIL handguard.
You can fit bipods to the lower section using M-LOK-compatible bipods, or any bipod using an adapter from its native mount to M-LOK. For mounting bipods to a Picatinny rail or Harris-style bipods, choose the CRC 9029 Harris bipod adapter with M-LOK attachment.
Important:
The design includes a quick-release top cover for barrel changes; because of this the top cover does not retain optic zero. If you plan to install electronics, mount them on the lower handguard section, which is rigidly fixed to the weapon’s gas tube. Also note that this portion of the gun becomes quite hot during sustained fire.For the same reason, we do not recommend mounting primary optics on the top cover — use the M-LOK and Picatinny on the top cover only for remote switches and control cables.
To mount optics on PK/PKM and similar weapons, use the CRC 2U080 optic mount.
