Heatshield for heavy barrel 590a1

[Greenhorse six]

If anyone is looking for one.
I see Western gun parts has the 590a1 heavy barrel heatshield in stock.
These are for the 20in barrel.

They need to make a purpose built one for the 14" barrel.

Thanks for the heads up my wallet is now crying

Went ahead and ordered a fab vanguard forend to replace the mlok one it came with as I read it has issues with clearance (personally I like the fabs design better). Figured might as well grab a new stock while I’m at it and grabbed the SGA as well. Looks like only one heat shield left in stock.

Damn that’s a tight fit (that’s what she said) did you have to sand/dremel it down at all?

No sanding , oh, God not the dremel.
I tried widing the front bracket with pliers and noticed that the shield was wanting to warp a little, so stopped doing that.

Wrapped the barrel with 3-4 turns of black electric tape About 4 inches back from where it was going to sit, just enough that the back bracket wasn't on the barrel yet.

Then just kept pressing it , [you don't have to do it from the top , side works too , then just rotate the heatshield after. ] and as I'm pressing it onto the barrel, the bracket is digging into the tape and starts to peel back the top layers, I'm thinking ,f*k me this is going to leave a mark.

But, strangely enough, as it peeled back the top layers, they're balling up and stopping the bracket from digging into the last layer, all most like the tape was widening the bracket, the tape acting like a lube and slid on without marking the barrel .
Long story short, better to be lucky then smart.

The hardest part of this for me was getting the nut started on the first bolt for the clamp.

I want to also add that this is never coming off .

Ah, you were talking about the forend fit with the heatshield ?
Clearance is good, close, but still enough.
I don't think you could twist the slide enough to make it bind or jam up the action.
Well , you probably could, but it have to be a very determined effort

Nice looking rig, needs a black stock. JM.02

You can easily change the color of your stock cheaply (however permanent) by using RIT dye.

haha yup! Yours look awesome I’ll try mine and see if it clears since the fab won’t come until next week with the sga. I ordered the fab forend just because I didn't want to risk it when installing the heatshield..I read it fits no issue with the mlok forend for some and not for others. It was $40 so I figured I'd gamble on it and I saw another picture someone had posted showing the vanguard having good clearance. Heatshield comes in on Friday I'm pretty stoked to install it, had a buddy print the forend wrench tool so I'm ready to go. I like the vanguard forend it’s like a modern corn cob with mlok.

Edit: attached the photo, this isn’t mine but mine will basically look like this
