I just held the Scout Squad that's made by Springfield Armory and immediately fell in love with it. I would like to get one in the future but am not crazy about the front rail. I heard that the way it's mounted permits heat to be transfered from the barrel to the rail and that, at a busy shooting pace, it could get very hot.
Is there anyway that the rail can be removed or at least covered up to keep myself from accidentally burning my hand?
I've seen some rail covers being sold online but wonder if using them will interfere with using the iron sights.
I would personally favor mating a rail system that mounts above the ejection port with a low magnification optic but that's just me. I know that this will pose a bit of a problem with getting a proper cheek weld with the stock but I find this easier to work with than trying to see through a scope mounted far ahead with a long eye relief.
