Heatshield

US12704336 - Heat shield for firearm suppressors and method

A heat dissipation promoting ventilated protective guard for a firearm suppressor also known as a moderator can include a substantially cylindrical cage shaped body surrounding an inner void that can contain the suppressor. In inwardly projecting beveled stop-surface on the guard bears against a corresponding beveled shoulder on the suppressor to limit axial movement. A snap-ring and wave spring bias the guard against the shoulder. Slits and vents in the mounted guard allow air to pass over the suppressor and prevent contact by a user with a dangerously hot suppressor.
