EreadM 0 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I've notice when I go out to the range and shoot that the handguard seems to get quite hot. I was just wondering if switching to the standard ak style handguard with the heat shield makes a big difference or not? Is it worth swapping out the original for the ak style?

GregM1 241 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 the standard ak lower has a stainless steel heat shield in it. it does decrease heat transfer a lot. here is some good info on heat shields and info on making your own. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=41239&st=0&p=372879&hl=heat&fromsearch=1entry372879 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
