Looking for heat shield

[Dan Hickman]

As title says, looking for heat shield for 1918 A3 build. If you have one to get rid of, or know where I might find one. Let me know.

In my experience (in building two 1918A3's), that's one of the hard-to-find parts. I managed to locate a couple over about two years of attending Knob Creek. Make sure it's in decent shape. There are more beat up ones floating around than good ones. If worse comes to worst, it's a part you can probably live without, on a semiautomatic. Also note that there are two types -- the one with the notch on one end and the other with a notch on both ends. (The notched end goes toward the receiver; the double-notched type can obviously be installed in either direction.)

The one I received from BMG Parts was new. At the last KCR I found two on a table, the funny thing was that the seller had to ask me what they were.

Sent BMG an inquiry, hope they have one. If not, it looks like a part that could be made. Thanks for replies.

BMG didn't have one at the time. Just missed one on eBay, my wifi at the motel wouldn't work so I didn't get a chance to up my bid.
