The LiteRaider Eastern Bloc AK Handguard is primarily designed for AK-pattern rifles with stamped receivers. It offers a robust mounting platform for various accessories. The LiteRaider Eastern Bloc AK Handguard is compatible with the following rifles with minimal to no customization:

Converted Saiga (7.62×39, 5.45×39, 5.56×45)
AK-74
AK-47 (stamped receivers)
AKM (stamped receivers)
AK-105 (quality clones)
AK-103 (quality clones)
WASR-10
Arsenal SLR series (e.g., SLR-104, SLR-106, SLR-107)
Tantal

It’s important to note that while the LiteRaider Eastern Bloc AK Handguard is compatible with these models, some minor fitting may be required to ensure a secure and proper installation. For rifles with milled receivers, such as the Arsenal SAM7 series, the LiteRaider Eastern Bloc AK Handguard is not directly compatible and would require significant modification to fit properly. Additionally, models like the Yugo rifles (e.g., Zastava M70, N-PAP) and Norinco rifles may also require modifications for proper installation. Always ensure that any modifications are performed by a qualified gunsmith to maintain the safety and functionality of your firearm.
