Short Shield
Short Shields utilize our Original AR-15 castle nut and the front end of Original Series Handguards to mount. They’re a great option for adding a pop of color to any build. They differ from our Heat Shields by not interfering with the muzzle threads, since they use the handguard to mount instead of the muzzle threads.
Not compatible with Slim Series, Dolos, AR-10 or Breached-Front End (Freedom, Baconator, etc.) Handguards.
$70.00 – $85.00
The short shield is made to slide under handguard and over the 556 castle bolt, and is attached using a end cap. End cap is attached with two screws inserted in the foremost tac rail holes at the 6:00 and 12:00 positions. Handguard length, length of gas tube, and color specification required. Sprocket end cap will accept barrels up to 0.95″ in diameter. Short shields only work with our Original AR-15 barrel nut and low profile gas blocks.
