So at the last match I shot my FAL and found the barrel gets very, very hot. So hot that I could not really touch the handguards. I have the DSA "mil spec" handguards and they look great on the rifle, but function takes place over form. I had the thought of lining them with really heavy duty tin foil, sort of a poor mans heat shield but keeping all the heat around the barrel can not be a good thing. I could drill more air holes in them to promote airflow over the barrel. Or I could do both. What do ya'll think?
I have been kicking around the idea of throwing the DSA float tube on there, yeah I know it is not a true float tube because it clamps to the barrel. Be that as it may it has a larger volume and sits farther off the barrel. Does anyone have real world experience with these and are they worth it?
