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?
Could never get down with the VFG. Nightstrike Diamondback is money. Needs 2 MLOK fasteners to alleviate flex. AND the plastic is too brittle. Rattler slid from my lap to a wooden table, and a ~1" sliver of plastic, parallel to the hand guard and close to the MLOK - splintered off.
I don't like the flex, and it's definitely there. Example - AB Arms fore grip - no wobble, no flex, no play - even intentional. Nightstrike needs to stiffen it up.
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.
