    AR15 Barrel nut heat.

    I dont have much experience with AR's, just about finished on but have a quick question..

    I am going to machine the barrel nut myself to use on a carbon fibre hand guard I am making. I cant be bothered anodising it so I have to isolate the aluminium from the CF.

    I was thinking of using kapton film but the melting point is around 250 degC. I would assume it is not getting that hot around the barrel nut, more down the barrel?

    Will be using for multigun so more than a couple shots every now and then.

    Anyone have a guess how hot it gets around there. I am sure you know if it's up 200+ deg if you have touched it!

    Thanks.
