Gen 3 Questions

Couldn’t find these answers sorry if they are answered somewhere else.

Curious if they solved these problems:

  1. When cleaning it wasn’t possible to get the hand guards off over a muzzle device without taking off the 8 little screws.

  2. Excessive heat, on the 10.5 it required a wrap and gloves. The gas block would get hot along with the narrow hand guards. Haven’t seen a 10.5 yet, but I assume it’s coming.
