Zenitco B-11 Handguard Rail
Genuine Zenitco | One-piece CNC-milled D16T aluminum | Three Picatinny rails + bottom Bazis mini-rail | 3 colors
In short: the Zenitco B-11 (Classic) is a one-piece, fully CNC-milled D16T aluminum handguard that installs in the standard handguard position of AK-pattern carbines. It forms three Picatinny rails for mounting accessories, plus a mini Bazis guide rail on the bottom that is especially handy for the RL-1 hand stop.
Overview
The B-11 is the handguard for the short-barrel U variant, replacing the factory forend with one milled piece of D16T aluminum. Three Picatinny rails come off it - bottom and both sides - for lights, aiming modules, bipods, the A-1 sling swivel, the A-8 QD swivel mount and the RK-0 through RK-6 front grips.
Underneath there is also a short Bazis guide, which is the neat place for an RL-1 hand stop. The top of the receiver stays clear, so the B-19 or B-19N rail over the gas tube can be added. Finished in Black or Desert.

Compatibility: installs in place of the standard handguard on
AK-pattern carbines and carbines built on that base. The three Picatinny rails accept under-barrel flashlights, aiming devices, bipods and RK-series front grips (RK-0 / 1 / 2 / 4 / 5 / 6), the A-1 sling swivel and the A-8 QD sling mount. Over the gas tube it also accepts the
B-19 / B-19N brackets, and the bottom Bazis mini-rail takes the RL-1 stop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the B-11?
It is a one-piece, CNC-milled D16T aluminum handguard that replaces the standard AK-pattern handguard and adds three Picatinny rails plus a bottom Bazis mini-rail.
What can I mount on it?
On the three Picatinny rails: flashlights, aiming devices, bipods and RK-series front grips, plus the A-1 sling swivel and A-8 QD sling mount. Over the gas tube it takes the B-19 / B-19N brackets, and the bottom Bazis mini-rail is ideal for the RL-1 stop.
Which carbines does it fit?
It is purpose-built for AK-pattern carbines built on that base, installing in the standard handguard position.
Which platform is the B-11 for?
It replaces the factory handguard on the short-barrel U variant. Full-size carbines use the B-10 or B-30 series instead.
What is the mini Bazis guide underneath for?
It is a short guide on the underside, most often used for the RL-1 hand stop, so the stop sits flat instead of riding on top of a Picatinny rail.
