So it's pretty obvious that the gas block gets hot, and it's never been a problem because I have the bad habit of holding my gun at the magwell with my off hand. I want to correct that problem and hold my gun at the far end of the rail. Given that I have a 10.5" SBR with the Samson Evo rail that gets ridiculously hot around the gas block too, what should I do?
I don't have gloves and wouldn't mind buying some to make this work out , but I think the gas block/ rail will eventually get to hot to handle even with gloves.
This may sound ridiculous but I've been thinking about wrapping the rail/gas block with some left over header wrap from my car. It's fiberglass and is rated for 2000 degrees. But if it's stupid and it works it's not stupid I've been told.
What do you guys think ?
