MCX Virtus dealing with a hot handguard

I took my Virtus Patrol to the range this weekend for the first time to zero. I did 5 round sets, then checking the hits; however, after the 30 rounds the handguard was getting pretty warm and by the end of the second magazine it was down right hot. Now I wasn't doing any sort of rapid fire, between 5 and 10 seconds between shots.

My question is, is there something other than say wear gloves that will keep my hand from not getting burnt?

I did this with Magpul's AFG and a vertical sander. I took the back edge off to make it fit more flush to the magwell. Adds another step to disassembly but gave me a very natural grip. Also switched the panels to UTG covers; the ones in this pic suck. Anyway, keeps the meat hooks off the hot parts.
