Are they ok to use? I just picked up a pair and they didn't have heatshields. Do I need them? They are going on an UGLY PINK M4gery I'm putting together for my wife. She won't know the difference, but are there any safety/comfort issues I need to worry about? Tony |

It is very important to have the heat shields in. The barrel gets noticeably hot after just 10-15 rounds. When I shoot a military qualification course (40 rds in 20 min) the hand guards are warm to the touch. I would hate to hold them w/o the heat shields in. ________________________________ Life is to short to drink cheap

| My Oly came with out heatshields, they do get warm, but nothing uncomfortable to the touch. They were very well made and sturdy, but I needed the Colt M4 hand guards to complete the M4 look. Tried to sell them on ebay and had no takers. Guess I have a set for my next project! |
