Manufactured in the USA with a limited lifetime warranty.
A shotgun heat shield is a ventilated barrel shroud designed to protect the user's hands from the heat generated by firing multiple shots in quick succession. It serves to dissipate the heat surrounding the barrel, maintaining a cooler surface. Typically, these heat shields are attached to semi-automatic, automatic, and pump-action shotguns, often serving as barrel shrouds. In the case of pump-action combat shotguns, they enable soldiers to grip the barrel when using a bayonet, providing added functionality. The primary function of the heat shield is to manage and reduce the heat accumulation around the barrel, ensuring it remains as cool as possible during use.
Note: The heat shield may needs to be custom fitted on the Stevens 320 and some other shotguns. If you do not have the proper tools or do not feel comfortable fitting the heat shield to your firearm, please enlist the services of your local gunsmith. It will not fit a vent rib barrel shotgun.
