Benefit of polymer furniture

[Boris]

Today (24 degrees and driving snow) was one of those days where my hand was wet and actually sticking to the aluminum rail through my gloves. Aside from a hot cup of coffee, I was sure wishing I had a $29.95 polymer hand guard.

You're probably gonna laugh at me for my solution to this very real problem. I live in Wisconsin and temps have been in the "Basement" for awhile now.

Had the same problem when I was testing a customer rifle a week or so ago. My left hand froze to the handguard.

Here's the "fix".

I rubber banded a pot holder to the gripping area on the forearm.

End of problem

1 or 2 magazine dumps should take care of this problem...

Seriously, I recently shot my AR in 22 degrees weather and didn't have problems; KAC rail covers and Camelback gloves must've helped.

Important part of my post. CUSTOMER WEAPON!

Not mine to alter and swapping stuff on and off rails tends to mar them. I don't want to have to go over a customer weapon with a detailing kit in order to get rid of itty bitty marks left there by bypods/grips/covers. Call me anal if you want but time is money in any business.
