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?

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!
