Heat Shield Construction and Design

The Unique-AR Short Heat Shield is precision machined aluminum at 12 inches in length with a raw aluminum finish across the round profile body. The full-length top vent cut runs along the top of the heat shield body to allow airflow through the handguard system and assist with heat dissipation during use. Weight reduction cuts are machined into the body to reduce overall material while maintaining the structural integrity of the heat shield profile. The barrel nut mounted design is compatible with Unique-AR free float handguard systems at carbine length on the AR-15 platform. The included spiked sprocket end cap is precision machined aluminum in a matching raw aluminum finish and covers the forward end of the heat shield with a spiked sprocket profile. Mounting hardware is included.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Verify compatibility with your specific Unique-AR handguard system before use.
