Description
The stock AK grip has barely changed since the late 1940s, and while it has that classic look, most folks find it too small and a little uncomfortable to run for any length of time. The US PALM AK Pistol Grip solves that with a larger, more filled-out shape that gives your hand something real to hold onto. That palm swell on the backside isn't just for comfort either. It's shaped to push your hand up and into the receiver junction, so you land in the same spot every time you grab the rifle.
What the US PALM AK Grip Does Differently
This is a full-size Westernized profile, meaning it borrows the more vertical, ergonomic feel you'd expect from a modern sporting rifle rather than the old-school Kalashnikov angle. Aggressive stippling wraps the surface for a positive, non-slip hold whether your hands are sweaty, cold, or wearing gloves. It's molded from tough black polymer that shrugs off abuse and holds up to years of hard use without getting slick or brittle.
Fitment and Installation on Your AK
One of the best things about this grip is how wide the fitment net is cast. It works with AK47, AK74, AKM, and PKM builds, plus a long list of variants including the Yugoslavian and Serbian M64, M70, M72, and M21, the Iraqi Tabuk, and RPK pattern rifles of pretty much any vintage or manufacturer. The design is ambidextrous, so lefties and righties get the same benefit. Installation is straightforward with the included stock screw and lock washer, and most people have it swapped out in a couple of minutes with a screwdriver.
Made in the U.S.A., this is one of the simplest and most noticeable upgrades you can make to an AK. If your factory grip has always felt a size too small, this one makes the rifle feel like it fits you instead of the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the US PALM AK pistol grip fit my rifle?
It's built to fit standard AK-pattern rifles, including the AK47, AK74, AKM, and PKM. Beyond those, it also covers a wide range of variants like the Yugoslavian and Serbian M64, M70, M72, and M21, the Iraqi Tabuk, and RPK builds. As long as your rifle uses the common AK grip mount, this one should bolt right on.
How does this grip compare to the standard AK grip?
The factory AK grip is fairly slim and short, which a lot of people find cramped. This one is a full-size, Westernized shape with a palm swell that fills your hand and pushes it up into the receiver for a more consistent, comfortable hold. If the stock grip has always felt too small, this is a night-and-day difference.
Is everything included to install it?
Yes. The grip ships with the stock screw and lock washer you need to mount it. Installation is simple with a screwdriver and usually takes just a few minutes.
What is the grip made from and how durable is it?
It's molded from tough black polymer that's built to take a beating. The aggressive stippling gives you a positive, non-slip surface in wet, cold, or gloved conditions, and the material holds up well to long-term use without wearing smooth.
