As a Mossberg Maverick 88 owner, you know the indestructible reliability/Military type construction (shotgun). When firing multiple rounds continuously, the barrel becomes extremely hot in a hurry and the solution is to install a “Maverick 88 Heat Shield”. The Heat Shield is a simple accessory to install and makes a huge difference.
The mossberg maverick heat shield is fitted above the barrel on the shotgun preventing excessive transmission of heat throughout the shotgun system and protecting you from burns to your hands and from giving you better control of your shooting.
The barrel of the Mossberg Maverick 88 is designed to operate at higher pressures than typically found in sport shooting shotguns, causing it to heat up rapidly after repeated shots fired. This results in discomfort for anyone using this type of shotgun. The mossberg maverick heat shield protects both of the shooters and their hands from getting burned by direct contact with the heat generated in the barrel zone (after firing) and provides protection while maintaining your ability to train longer when you shoot.
The Heat Shield allows you to continue shooting without worrying that you may be burned from the heat generated during shooting activities. The mossberg maverick 88 heat shield also assists the shooter when training and/or shooting outdoors for extended periods of time. The Heat Shield allows the shooter to maintain focus and not be distracted by any heat-related issues while maintaining their shooting abilities.
Better Grip and Control
A shotgun's heat shield, which separates the user from the heat produced when firing, provides an added level of confidence by allowing you to obtain a good grip on your shotgun. This ability is particularly important when shooting in a fast-moving environment. Therefore, you need to be able to maintain proper control when manipulating the shotgun both at the range and in your home for defensive purposes.
Most mossberg maverick 88 heat shield have vent holes that allow heat to escape while allowing the user to maintain control over the temperature of the surface. In addition, vent holes also improve the comfort of a shotgun user without adding to the weight of the shotgun.
Heat shields are very strong, typically constructed of steel or aluminum, and designed to withstand the forces created during the firing of a shotgun and provide years of service. They do not break or warp under the extremes of heat and stress associated with sustained fire and are installed in a manner that can not move during use.
Heat shields have features that benefit beginning and experienced shotgun shooters alike.
