Quality use of time...
Yeah, it'll fit. You'll need to file down the lower handguard retainer and piece that inserts into the receiver like any other AK though so keep that in mind

I don't know of any videos but... The parts I have circled in red are what you will need to file down. It varies from replica to replica, brand of rail to rail type. Make sure you get a decent file, you're comfortable and have some time because it will take a while to do. It's a simple case of file, check fit, file, check fit, file, check fit until it goes in. You want it to go in snug but not too snug, also if you don't already invest in a rubber mallet to help persuade the handguard to go in.
Also, one other note. The evolution AK's use the same quality metal as the Specna AK's so BE CAREFUL. If you force the handguard into the receiver, you will end up weakening and maybe even cracking the receiver so just take your time and work at it - Don't rush it and force it in and think "It'll do"
If you need any further help, I can take some pictures of my AK handguards to show you what parts to sand better

I asked as I have owned literally nearly every brand of AK AEG going, this was not one of them and therefore probably not a good sign as to quality

They are a new brand and i know people who own then and had them longer than me and they are pretty good as long as you treat them right

If raven AEGs are anything like their pistols then I wouldn't touch them with a 10ft pole, quality control is terrible to non existent.

The GBB pistol brand called raven is owned by nuprol and they have a reputation for their pistols being low quality crap.
From looking at the raven evolution website I'm guessing they're just rebranded specna arms guns.
Tbh looking at their website I'm kind of thinking meh. There's a hell of a lot of sales waffle which looks impressive at first but when you look closer it's nonsense

I believe that the OEM is Double Eagle.

According to their website, they're a Canadian based company who do their own engineering? How true that is though, who knows.
Their stuff is regarded in America as some of the better entry level replicas
Yeah man, no dramas
