Do they help much at keeping the front lower grip from over heating?

Do they make these for wood handguards?  If so where can I get about 10 of them

i looked into getting heatshields for ak lowers produced at several places about a yr. ago since i could never find a source and demand seemed to be high, but the cost/unit i was quoted on was never realistic..too expensive...thats a good question u have about a source. well, alternatively, you canmake a decent one for free using an aluminum beer can folder over on itself a few times and pressed down & then shaped into a U...ive done this with good results using one of those longer arizona iced tea can(the gauge of aluminum is thicker on those cans)

ETA: the melting point of steel is about 2500 degrees F while the melting point of aluminum is roughly about half that @ 1220 degrees F so I believe Al is OK.  btw does anyone know the temps a barrel can reach under intense firing?? its gotta be below 1220 F ,no?anyone know?

Will K-var sell the ones they put in there HG's?

A lot of guys dislike the pistol grip lower handguards on the Romanian AIM's, but you have to agree that it solves the overheating problem.

AKM-63's and AMD-65's, too.

On the G3 wide forearms they have a heat shield and it helps some but on the wood there is none so you had to make them.
We would take some aluminum sheet and use a dowel to form it around then trim the sides some and it would drop right in.

A piece of pipe, some sheet metal, a hammer, viola- heat shields! you can also line the botton (under the shield-above the guard) with hi temp insulation. Just make sure there is an "air space" between the insulation and the shield. Oh yeah, silver side faces up on the insulation...lol...

I concur, the K-var lower fore ends with heat sheilds were better than the wood lower fore ends but a foregrip I have found to be superior for heat protection in both wood:


and plastic:

Got a lead on some for $70.00, for all three pieces, is that a good price?
