The LMT Heat Shield, Rifle Length, in Black (LMT part no. C-8448377) is a factory-spec internal heat shield built to fit inside LMT’s rifle-length handguard systems, helping protect the outer rail surface from barrel heat during extended strings of fire. Shooters running a longer LMT monolithic upper who need a replacement or spare heat shield can install this part directly into a compatible rifle-length handguard. LMT manufactures the shield to the same dimensions used on its factory-built rifles, keeping the fit consistent with the original component. It’s a straightforward maintenance part for anyone servicing an LMT rifle-length upper.
