    Question Question on the Metal Piece at the Back of the Lower Wood Handguard?

    I am seeing Russian and Polish and I think Egyptian Lower Laminated Wood AKM Handguards WITHOUT The Metal end Piece on the Back of the Lower Handguard. Knowing that the Chinese used them, I am wondering why are they not on the back of some Laminated AKM Wood Lowers? Did all Soviet Block AKM's drop the Metal Back Piece on the Lowers? Did only the Chinese and East Germans keep it? Refering to AKM Wood Lowers only!

    all my egyptians had it.


    IMHO. usually a part that got tossed cause how tight fitting some of the lowers were.

    Thanks, I have been looking at Photos of AKMs with Wood Handguards, in all my AK Books and online, Most I have looked at, that had Laminated AKM Wood did not have it. I am wondering if most Countries dropped the Metal End Piece, when they came out with the AKM Handguard?
