Ok so I was driving home from the mountains, about an 8 hour drive. I put my new Daniel Defense DDM4 rifle, in its factory case, on the floor of the rear space in my Tahoe, pushed up against the back seats and then piled a bunch of luggage and what not ontop of it.
When we got home I parked the car and then 20 minutes later started to unpack. I noticed the rifle case was super hot and so I opened it and found the rifle to be hot to the touch. It was hot enough that I could only hold the metal for about 3 seconds before it started to burn and I had to pull my hand off. There must have been a heat source somewhere channeling all that heat straight to the gun somehow.
It's a brand new gun and I'm wondering if there are any parts that could be affected by this heat. I am a little worried if I messed up the accuracy of the new unfired barrel or anything I should check before firing.
Thanks
