Heat shield for my Mav 88

[Maverick88]

I want to everyone's thoughts on the ATI heat shield or any other heat shield that's compatible. I was thinking about getting one for my Mav 88.

There isn't much purpose to a heat shield, they are mostly for looks. The old trench guns had them so you could grab the entire gun when you were sticking a German with the bayonet.

The ATI stuff seems to fit alright. We have a bunch of their stocks at work.

Thanks for the info. I figured they were mainly for looks. Still undecided if I want to use one or not. Prob gonna get one from Moss directly. I don't think that I will be sticking anyone with my bayonet.

I don't think that I will be sticking anyone with my bayonet.

Sure ... you say that now

I feel a strong urge for a trench gun with a bayonet now. Thanks! My wife is gonna kill me when I weld a bayonet holder on to a shotgun.

You don't need one for home defense, hopefully you wont need to shoot enough rounds to get the barrel that hot. If you got some land to shoot on and plan on shooting a 100+ rounds, you'll be glad you got one. If your barrel is 20+ inches, make sure you get one with the spacer or it will jump around and scratch your barrel.

If your barrel is the 18.5 " smooth [no rib] you could put one on that has built in ghost sites. That a good reason to get one. COMBATHUNTING.COM Official Website - Combat Hunting Store Rifle Scopes Quality Hunting, Shooting, Camping and Outdoor Gear All On Sale At Competitive Prices.
