A Smith can install a heat shield on pretty much any shotgun. You cut the mounting system off and spot weld it to the barrel. It will need refinishing but it will work perfectly and be durable.

You just like taking the fun out of DIY.
He likes to scare people out of trying.
The fun is in DIY and knowing you did it yourself. Maybe something won't turn out 100%, but I'm ok with that when I know that I did it myself. And in the future I know how to do it better.
I built an AK. A buddy welded it up for me. He (and I) forgot to turn on the gas for his MIG... I Have pinholes in the side of that gun that we were never able to get out because of the original unshielded welding. The gun still runs like a raped ape and I know that I built it. The pinholes are just a reminder now.
I believe the regular 590 isn't a heavy barrel. But door breachers and the 590A1 are. You could have called Mossberg's tech support line to confirm it would work before ordering the part. This is on you boss. I'm a mechanic not a gunsmith. But generally on installation a hammer is not a good tool to use. If I saw/knew a gunsmith used a regular hammer to install parts on my gun. I'd find a different 'smith.
Picking up shotgun barrel on Friday night. Guy doing it said it is complete and is currently drying. I will be paying off and taking home my Glock 22 that night as well. Got to love the Pa. instacheck!! P.S. I can't wait to show you guys pics. Regis told me this barrel has a custom finish. I am cranked!!
