Mossberg 500/590 Heat Shield Kit - Blued Finish

Factory Barrel Heat Shield

A shotgun barrel gets hot quickly during a string of fast shots, and on a pump gun your support hand is never far from it. This Mossberg heat shield covers the top and sides of the barrel on 500 and 590 pump shotguns, so a stray hand or a sling brushes the shield instead of hot steel. It is a factory Mossberg part with a blued finish and suits owners setting up a defensive or tactical-style 500 or 590, or replacing a damaged shield.

Features

• Mossberg Factory Part — Made by Mossberg for its own 500 and 590 pump-action shotguns.
• Blued Finish — Bluing is a controlled chemical oxidation of the metal surface that gives a deep black color and some resistance to rust.
• Perforated Shield Body — Rows of round holes along the sides and top let heat escape from the barrel instead of building up under the cover.
• Half-Round Profile — The shield wraps over the top and sides of the barrel, which is where your hand and sling are most likely to make contact.
• Front Hook Retention — A hooked tab at the muzzle end locates the front of the shield on the barrel.
• Rear Mounting Tabs — Two drilled tabs at the receiver end provide the fastening points for the rear of the shield.
• Factory Roll Markings — The shield is stamped "12 GA. - CHAMBERED FOR 2 3/4" AND 3" - U.S.A." along with a Mossberg safety warning and North Haven, CT address.

Fit And Finish

The kit is listed for the Mossberg 500 and 590, and the stamped markings identify it as a 12 gauge part. Check that your barrel length and model variant match before ordering, since Mossberg made these shotguns in many configurations. The blued finish matches blued 500 and 590 shotguns rather than parkerized or Cerakote guns.
