Zenitco B-20U Handguard Rail
Genuine Zenitco | One-piece CNC-milled D16T aluminum | Bottom Picatinny + two side Bazis rails | For RPK-pattern carbines | 2 versions, 3 colors
In short: the Zenitco B-20U is a one-piece, CNC-milled D16T aluminum handguard that installs in the standard handguard position of RPK-pattern carbines. It forms a Picatinny rail on the bottom and a Bazis guide rail on each side, so you can mount Picatinny rails and accessories directly. It comes in two versions to match your carbine's seat.
Overview
The B-20U replaces the standard lower handguard on the RPK and on carbines built on it. It is machined from a single billet of D16T aluminum alloy and finished in black, desert or golden khaki.
A Picatinny section runs along the bottom for lights, aiming modules, bipods and RK-0, RK-1, RK-2, RK-4, RK-5 and RK-6 grips. Bazis guides on the sides take B-2, B-2L, B-2M and B-2U Picatinny adapters, A-1L and A-2L swivels, the A-4 QD swivel bracket, the RL-1 hand stop, NPN-2 panels, FP-3 wire holders and D-series remote switches. The B-19RPK upper rail fits above it.
Two seat variants are produced: V2.0 for the wider type A seat and V2.1 for the lower type B seat. Compare your standard handguard with the photos before ordering. The open frame improves barrel cooling and the rigid body holds accessories on zero.
