Yes, the heat shield is just soft aluminum. It pops right out, just held in place by some small tabs in the side of the handguard.

I remember the heatshield being riveted in. I'll go double check.

You can pop the heat shield out, or slide the t-nut in between it and the plastic. If we are talking A2-style, then the t-nut may be a little under-sized for the holes, but the problem is that the channel in the plastic is really only wide enough for the stock t-nuts.
It's not super-duper tacticool secure...but it's more than enough to hold a sling swivel, VFG, or light. |

I didn't take the heat shield out when I added a rail to mine... just slid the back plates under and held them in place with a skinny screw driver.

I've got a section of rail from GG&G with holes spaced to match a standard handguard.
I put a vfg on it. The only issue I had was the looseness of the handguard. I ended up strapping it down. If I remember right the whole affair cost more than an MOE HG and MVG. Though they weren't an option at the time. |

You don't remove the heat shield for the moe rails. The metal insert has a channel it goes down to lock the rails to the handguard
