Does anyone sell a heat shield to fit inside the pap
Handguard ?

I can't even imagine a metal railed handguard dealing with the pap heat.

I use stacked up sheets of up aluminum flashing from the roofing dept at the hardware store. Learned that trick back when I bought an HK-G3 pattern rifle with the skinny wood handguards. Beats shooting with oven mitts on.

This right here. When I assembled my FrankenFAL, it had sheet metal handguards. I cut some aluminum flashing and bent and flexed it so that it touched at the front and rear but not in the middle. While not a perfect solution, I was at least able to make it through more than one magazine without breaking out the ChickenMitt.

I dont think anyone does, as others have suggested its a matter of making it on your own.  I had not tried flashing, will give that a shot myself.

Manta covers for aluminum handguards. They stay nice and cool. Available for Picatinny and M-Lok.
