Silverfox- what is that on the top of your barrel?

I've been wondering this for years too?

I think it's for the thermal waves you see in scopes..

I bet it stops the heat mirage from the barrel and suppressor.

Yep a lot of BR guys use them, to keep the mirage down when the barrel heats up.

Now I can smell a blackout in the future.
It's never enough is it.

Yellowhammer--I apologize for not answering your query sooner, but I have been on a 6-week vacation down in Yuma and just got back about a week ago. I have been busy catching up on mail we had held, getting my income taxes done, and some honey-dos. I know, "give you reasons and not excuses," but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Anyway, several posters already answered the question, but YES, that is a mirage shield. This one is made from aluminum and I use Velcro hook material on the barrel and the Velcro loop material on the underside of the shield. The suppressor gets extremely hot and does cause big-time mirage problems. The sun can also cause the barrel and/or suppressor to get quite warm, so the shield keeps the sun off the barrel and helps keep the mirage waves out of you line of sight through the scope.

I actually have the shield on upside down according to the "experts". The "experts" advise you to put the convex side toward the barrel and the concave side up. They recommend that because that way the shield directs the heat sideways and away from the sight line of the scope, while using it the other way the heat waves are supposedly blocked from getting away from the barrel and can "sneak" around the edges of the shield and get into the sight line of the scope.
 
Sorry for the crappy background. I'm gonna try to find some time to take them out for a proper family photo in the next couple weeks.

Some of my quiet setups. From 338 to 22 and 9mm:
