I'm in the process of building a 'sorta' 605; a 16" carbine with the front sight base at rifle length from the receiver. I've fit a pair of triangle rifle handguards.
The issue is a mid-barrel gas block that came with this rifle; to get the triangular guards to fit, it was necessary to trim a bit of the heatshield to fit around the block.
Question is, in semi-auto use, am I apt to damage the handguards because there's no heat shield to protect them? The plastic is a fairly tight fit, tho' I could try trimming a little beer can aluminum to give some shielding.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Moon
