i've been wanting to go retro on my bushmaster with the triangle hand guards.

are there any good quality hand guards out there with aluminum heat shield liners out there?

who makes them and what has been your experience with them? any recommendations?

thanks.

Just pick up a set of NOS, or used USGI triangle HGs off GunBroker. They all have the heat shields in them.

Be careful to not over pay if you look on GB, there are a few people that have been trying to sell some for around $100, stay away from them. You can get a NOS set for about $30 +/- a few bucks + shipping & used for less.

Recommendations:

This guy is GTG on GB. His are used, but I think he will pick you out a nice set if you ask him.

Never dealt with this guy before, but his feedback looks good.

These guys have both NOS & used. Have bought from them before, GTG.

There are plenty more sources for the hand guards. They show up in the EE quite often too. If yo are in no hurry put a WTB ad in the EE for a nice set.
