Which fore-ends for RPK (AES-10B)?

[Thin Black Line]

I have a Romanian AES-10B aka "RPK". This is the correct heavy barrel and
RPK bulged receiver version with the standard RPK furniture. Will other types
of AK fore-ends fit on this such as the Tapco AK galil fore-end?

BTW, thanks to those of you who responded to my previous post on the
cycling issues with it. More shooting seems to have polished out the problems.
I also had to open up the back of the magwell a bit more.

If you remove the carry handle, then any furnature will work. If you don't, you'll have some inletting to do.

Just to correct, on the AES-10, my above advice is true (based on what I saw). On the heavy barreled 10b, it is wrong.

I noticed that the RPK not only has a wider handguard (for the thicker barrel)
but is also a little longer.

Well, I realized when I reviewed a past post that I have completely blown smoke and felt it only right to right that error.
