Available Options
In short: Zenitco Leader is a complete D16T modular handguard kit for documented full-length AK-pattern configurations with a 415 mm platform specification. It provides Bazis guides on all four sides, measures 338 mm and weighs 385 g. It does not fit compact configurations and cannot be used with the standard cleaning rod.
Purpose
The Leader system replaces the standard lower and upper handguard components with an integrated four-sided Bazis structure. Compatible Bazis accessories attach directly, while B-2-family adapters add Picatinny only where required. The lowered front section is designed for the Perst Leader combined-device layout and also supports other documented component arrangements.

Leader uses the standard B-10L lower interface. Leader-S is the related version with a reinforced lower Bazis guide; select between them according to the required lower interface and accessory load.
Mounting layout
Bazis-compatible stops, swivels, switch mounts, wire retainers, panels and grips mount directly. Picatinny components require a suitable adapter such as B-2, B-2L, B-2M or B-2U. The included B-2 Leader forms part of the kit structure; it is distinct from the optional accessory adapters.

Installation
The kit replaces the standard lower handguard and upper tube cover, then joins B-10L, B-31 Leader and the Leader extension with the supplied ties and fasteners. B-10L must seat tightly. Do not file the B-10L body to ease fitting, because material removal can create movement at the receiver interface. On the documented TG2-style ferrule without the required opening, the manufacturer permits removal only of the designated projecting lug; no other material should be removed. Follow the included manual or use a qualified installer.
