    Have any of you seen or used the midlength variety of this handguard? It seems that one is hard to track down information on. Once i get the handguard and upper built ill post some info and pictures. I wish they would come up with something in between the mid and the rifle length though.

    Those are some nice looking rifles yall have. Thanks for the pictures and info so far.

    Are these tubes aluminum? Do they get really hot if shooting many rounds and fast?

    They are Alum and can get hot.

    I've used mine quite a bit and have never noticed it getting hot. I imagine if you grab it where it attaches to the receiver, that could get hot, but the tube does not get any hotter than my LaRue.

    Put 30-45 rounds though it in 90 seconds and report back. Mine gets hot as hell in 3gun practice and at matches so I were a glove on my support hand.

    I would imagine most any metal handguard would heat up when firing that fast. Most of my rifle shooting involves wearing nomex gloves and I haven't noticed anything excessive from this handguard. That includes several classes using it.

    Exactly. Anything that is metal and connected to the chamber is going to get hot!
    The difference between these and say a LT or DD is that you can put covers on those rails.
