How to Remove the Front Grip on a Maadi AK-47

AK-47 rifles are perhaps the most recognizable assault weapons in the world. The AK-47 is simple to operate, reliable and easy to maintain. Variants of AK-47 rifles have been produced throughout the world, all using the same design. Maadi AK-47 rifles were produced in Egypt on Russian-made machinery, and are considered the closest version to the original Soviet rifle. Removing the front grip from your Maadi AK-47 rifle is a simple procedure that does not require any tools.
