I am considering ordering my oly K16 with a full cover handguard (it goes all the way to the muzzle). The reason is that on a 16" barrel the handguard is so short it is easy to grab a very hot barrel by accident. Does anyone have any experience with this or cautions?  Any pictures? Thanks for the help.

I had one from DPMS,  they call it the Tuber.  It looked cool,  but it is very front heavy and it holds the heat in.  I swapped out for a YHM 4 rail tube.

I'm running the rifle length FIRSH on my frankengun with 16" barrel right now.
I haven't had any problems with it so far.
