Looking for a coating for a small project that a couple of us up here have decided to look into.  I am wondering how hot a M4 profile 14.5 barrel gets under the handguards after a 210 rnd F/A dump.

Thanks,

Mike

What about using a can?  Is there a substaintial increase?

YES, and the temp goes up much faster with a can. If you use a free float set up and the cooling is allowed then the temps don't go as high since it can air cool. The only one I know of that you will not need a pistol grip to hold the weapon forarm, is if using a SIR system.
Good Shootin, Jack
