I like to use my guns, not just look at them. I have an AR with free floating M-Lok rail handguards that get uncomfortably hot after mag-dumping. I'm not firing it enough to harm the barrel, but I'd prefer to not get my soft hands toasty. What do y'all recommend? Rail covers? A foregrip? Gloves? Switching guns whenever one gets warm? Something else?

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.
