Samson 04-04095-18 B-TM HEAT SHIELD RUG 10/22

The Samson B-TM Heat Shield for Ruger 10/22 is a minimalist accessory that transforms your .22 rifle's profile with a clean, tactical aesthetic. Precision-contoured to fit the 10/22 carbine barrel, this injection-molded polymer shield mimics the look of a Ruger Mini-14 factory heat shield—giving your rimfire a more serious, purpose-built appearance. Installation is straightforward: a single screw secures it in minutes without any gunsmithing, making it an easy upgrade whether you're building out a 10/22 or refreshing one you already own.

Built from durable glass-filled polymer with a matte black finish, the B-TM Heat Shield is light at just 1.3 ounces and won't add bulk to your rifle. It pairs especially well with Samson's B-TM Folding Stock for a cohesive, modern look. Keep in mind that the shield does require removal of your factory dovetail rear sight for installation, so you'll want an aftermarket iron sight or optic mounted to the receiver before you install it. If you're running a 10/22 Takedown model, the shield will fit, but it does eliminate the takedown functionality once mounted.

This is the kind of accessory that appeals to shooters who want to personalize their 10/22 without spending a fortune or taking it to a gunsmith. Whether you're setting up a dedicated range gun, a fun backyard plinker, or a small-game rifle with attitude, the B-TM Heat Shield delivers that extra touch of style.

Will the B-TM Heat Shield fit my Ruger 10/22?
