This guide details the installation of the Texas Weapon Systems (TWS) Gen-3 AKM Handguard and Dog Leg rail system on an AK-pattern rifle, specifically referencing its application on a Palmetto State Armory PSAK 104. The process involves removing factory components like the sling loop and rear sight, and requires tools such as a Dremel. The guide emphasizes the importance of proper alignment and securing the components, noting potential fitment challenges based on specific rifle trunnion geometry.

This guide details the installation of Midwest Industries' Alpha AK Furniture on an AK platform rifle, specifically a Palmetto State Armory GF5. The process involves replacing the stock, dust cover, and handguard with the new components. The furniture offers enhanced adjustability, multiple sling mounting points, and a robust dust cover rail system designed to hold zero.

This review of the Arex Rex Zero 1S handgun, presented by Joe Curtenbach of American Rifleman, highlights its similarities to the Sig P226 but emphasizes its unique refinements. The pistol operates in single-action/double-action mode, fires the 9mm Luger cartridge, and features a decocking lever that also functions as a slide stop/release. It includes a manual thumb safety and a three-dot sighting system, with a dust cover rail for accessories. The review notes its reliability and accuracy, positioning it as a competitive option in its price range.

This guide details the installation of the Chaos USA Titan Quad Rail System on AK-pattern rifles. It highlights the necessary modifications, including replacing the gas tube pin and losing the cleaning rod functionality. The system offers a rock-solid front handguard and a railed dust cover, though a minor modification is suggested for improved sling attachment.

This review covers the Parabellum Armament AK Adaptive Rail System (AKARS), a rail designed to maintain zero when opening and closing the dust cover on AK platforms. The system attaches to the rear sight block and features a top cover with an adjustable block for a snug fit. Testing demonstrated that the AKARS holds zero effectively, even after multiple dust cover cycles, and allows for lower 1/3 co-witness with mini red dot sights. While praised for its stability and ease of installation, minor improvements suggested include relocating the rear sight for a longer sight radius and modifying the top cover to better interface with the safety lever.
