Samson B-TM Heat Shield Features The Samson B-TM Heat Shield is precision contoured to fit directly over a Ruger 10/22 carbine barrel converting the rifle s profile into a Mini-14 style look without altering the barrel itself. It is molded from a durable glass filled injection molded polymer that holds its shape and resists the heat generated during extended shooting sessions. Installation takes only minutes with a single included screw and no permanent modification or gunsmithing is required to mount it. Because it clips onto the factory carbine barrel and rear sight dovetail fitment is consistent across any standard 10/22 carbine configuration. Finished in matte black the heat shield measures 8.375 long 1.15 wide and 0.55 tall keeping a slim profile that will not interfere with the rifle s balance or handling. At just 1.3 oz it adds essentially no weight to the rifle while changing its visual profile considerably. Owners should note that installing the heat shield requires removing the factory dovetail rear sight so an aftermarket sight or optic mounted to the receiver top becomes necessary afterward. For 10/22 owners who already run a B-TM folding stock or simply want a Mini-14 look this heat shield is a quick affordable way to change the rifle s appearance.
