Description
Anybody who has run a stock AK for a while knows the factory grip leaves a little to be desired. It's thin, it's slick, and after a long day at the range it lets you know about it. Hogue's OverMold grip fixes all of that. It takes their signature soft rubber and molds it right over a lightweight fiberglass core, so you get a cushioned, hand-filling feel without giving up any of the rigidity that keeps the grip locked to the rifle.
What Sets the Hogue OverMold AK Grip Apart
The magic is in the Cobblestone texture. It's an aggressive enough stipple pattern to keep your hand planted, but it won't chew up your palm the way sharp checkering can. The rubber has a slight give to it that soaks up some of that AK buzz, and the three finger grooves along with the palm swells naturally guide your hand into the same spot every time you shoulder the rifle. The shape is ambidextrous too, so lefties get the same comfortable feel as righties.
Fit, Durability, and Installation
This grip drops onto standard AK-47 and AK-74 pattern rifles and most compatible variants. Folks have run it on everything from Century BFT47s and C39V2s to PAK9 and ZPAP builds with good results. The rubber is virtually impervious to the oils and solvents floating around any gun bench, so a splash of CLP won't hurt it and it needs zero special care. Installation is about as simple as it gets, using the existing factory grip screw to snug it down in a couple of minutes. A quick heads up worth knowing from other owners: some rifles have an internal spacer that may need to come out, and a few builds take a tiny bit of trimming to seat perfectly.
Made in the USA, this is one of those upgrades you notice every single time you pick the rifle up. It's a small change that makes an old warhorse a whole lot friendlier to shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hogue OverMold grip fit my AK?
It's designed for standard AK-47 and AK-74 pattern rifles and most compatible variants. Owners have fit it successfully on builds like the Century BFT47, C39V2, PAK9, and ZPAP rifles. If you're running a non-standard or specialty build, it's worth confirming your grip interface before ordering.
Do I need extra hardware to install it?
No, it installs using your rifle's existing factory grip screw, so there's no separate hardware to buy. An additional screw is not included in the package. The whole job takes just a couple of minutes with basic tools.
Will oil or solvent damage the rubber?
Not at all. The rubber is molded to be virtually impervious to the oils and solvents you'll find around any gun bench, so CLP, bore cleaner, and lube won't hurt it. It also requires no special care to keep it going for years.
Is the Cobblestone texture rough on bare hands?
The Cobblestone pattern is designed to be non-slip without being harsh, so it keeps your hand planted without irritating your palm during a long range session. The rubber has a slight give that adds comfort, and it grips well whether your hands are bare, sweaty, cold, or gloved.
