Zenitco Leader-S Handguard Kit - Full AK Handguard System (Basis, 4 Sides)
CNC-Machined D16T Aluminum | Basis Rails on 4 Sides | Reinforced Lower Rail | Front Device Platform | 445 g
The Zenitco Leader-S Kit is a complete handguard system that replaces the standard handguard on AK-pattern sporting platforms and carbines built on them with a barrel of at least 415 mm (not compatible with short-barrel versions). It provides Basis guides on all four sides, with a reinforced lower Basis rail, for direct mounting of Basis-compatible accessories.
Mount hand stops, sling swivels, switches, wire holders, covers, grips, and additional Picatinny rails directly to the Basis guides. For Picatinny accessories, add B-2, B-2L, B-2M, B-2U rails (sold separately) anywhere along the Basis guide.
The front upper section has a lowered platform for the "Perst" combined device - either as a standalone unit or the integrated "Perst Leader" block. When running without it, an ergonomic "Leader Insert" can be fitted instead (sold separately). A lighter-rail version, the Leader Kit, is also available.
