I grip the magazine well and pull the weapon tight in to your shoulder, worked well when i was using M-16A2.

This. This is also how I was taught to use the m16a2. Makes for a much faster pull up in tight quarters.

Have you tried takin the wooden AK handguard and ducktapeing it to your AR? Sounds crazy, but might work.

That's why I havent run into this problem previously - mostly shooting rifles with wooden stocks or handguns. Newish rifle and oh dang, metal is hot.

I had no idea ARs had metal handguards (I'm European) always assumed it's some type of polymer.
Maybe you could give a try, not having a direct contact with hot metal could make a big difference and it looks really nice.

You can get them with polymer rails or handguards. I like what you linked. I'll check it out!

Simple answer: cook dinner.
See, when you cook, you sometimes burn yourself. If you don't burn yourself the first time, then keep cooking dinner until you do. Eventually after enough dinners and burns, you realize that a bit of heat on the fingers and hands isn't an issue.
At that point, you understand that you aren't a little bitch. It's incredibly liberating.
My mother cooked dinner everyday for 80+ years. When she was in her 40's, I saw her burn her arm with boiling water. Immediate blistering, 2+ inches long. Really nasty. Even 40 years later, she still had the scar on her arm.
Point being - the dear lady didn't stop to tend the giant blister on her arm until dinner was finished. She had a family to feed and nothing was going to get in the way.
I've followed in her steps and I cook often. I don't shy away from the heat. Deep fryers, boiling oil, etc. Blisters and burns don't bother me.
Try it ... I promise - it's liberating. :)

So, IMHO mag dumping is just for giggles and should only be done once in a blue moon. It's wasteful and ineffective. And, you don't heat up your grip at that rate.
If you are dumping enough rounds to heat up your grip enough to make it uncomfortable on your hand then you are probably heating up your barrel enough to damage it. Just my 2 cents and I don't care enough to argue about it so if you disagree then you do you!

Oh it's definitely for giggles. I'm perfectly happy to spend money to put holes in paper.
I'm confident it's not going to damage the barrel to any degree I care about. The pain threshold is something like 110°. I'd have burns by 120 or 130° holding it with my bare hands. I'm looking for solutions for that, not putting a FA lower in so I can heat the barrel to hundreds of degrees where you start seeing throat or rifling damage.

I like vertical forgeries. I have them on several weapons. I just like to use them but keeping my hand off a hot forend is just something extra...
