LTT HEAT SHIELD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Beretta Heat Shield

WARNING! INSPECT YOUR FOREND BEFORE INSTALLATION! We have become aware of an issue with a batch of Beretta Patrol Handguards on the A300 Patrol and newer 1301 Tactical Shotguns. This defect causes an issue with the installation of the LTT Heatshield. Beretta’s vendor that molds that handguard had a defect in the mold that left a defect on the right side of the handguard where the right rear mounting tab interfaces with the handguard.  Some shotguns were assembled with this issue before the defect was discovered. This defect prevents the proper mounting of the LTT Heatshield to the Beretta Patrol Handguard.  Please inspect your handguard before beginning the installation process for your LTT Heatshield. Trying to force the installation on a defective handguard will damage the LTT Heatshield and possibly damage your shotgun. If you find that you have a defective Beretta Patrol Handguard, please contact Beretta Customer Service or Langdon Tactical to arrange a replacement.

1. First, remove the barrel clamp and unscrew the magazine tube cover from your shotgun. Hold the magazine tube cover so that it doesn’t spring away from you if the internal magazine tube cap has been removed. 
2. Remove your handguard
3. Install the drill jig onto your LTT heat shield, making sure that the arrow points toward the front of the heat shield. 
4. Seat the heat shield flush on top of the handguard, making sure that the front hooks and recoil lugs are fully seated, and that there are no gaps between the heat shield and handguard. 
5.  Use the supplied #19 short drill bit to carefully drill both holes. For your safety, do not place your hand in the path of the drill bit. 
6. Remove the jig and install both metal tabs 
7. Re-install the handguard, magazine tube cover, and barrel clamp 
8. Place the heat shield on top of the handguard, making sure that the metal tabs stay fully seated and line up with the holes you drilled 
9. Using the T25 Torx driver, install both ¼ long 10-32 screws and torque to 25 in/lbs 
   • Thread locker is not necessary because the nylon material of the handguard is sufficient to resist vibratory loosening of the screws 
   • If the screws continue to spin when they are fully inserted into the handguard, wedge the inserts on the outside edge to tip them toward the screws. Then tighten and torque as normal.
