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.
