Lower handguard is one thing, but outer barrel is another problem. It is to short for X47 rail system. For example, I have here AKSU with original front from real AK/AKM [rear sight base], but outer barrel is longer, made by me; to fit ak lower handguard [which is the same size like this one in X47 system]:

Another problem: X47 rail system required an imitation of gas pipe or real gas pipe from AK/AKM - otherwise you will have an empty space under upper ris.
To use an imitation or real gas pipe you need real AK front [rear sight base] and gas block or some kind of sight in front of X47.

This combination is rather necessary to put X47 as solid build part of your replica.

I also have X47 but on AKM tactical:
