C J, no Sir it does not have Heat Shielding in the stock hand guard. You can see this starting at 7 minutes in this video  :   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MNSx8vjO48

Hi CJ, This model does not include a true heat shield.  The handguard is made from heat-resistant glass-filled nylon.  Thank you.
