Interesting thread. I wonder, in some instances, if using a leather covered spring steel handguard would afford some protection for your hand and/or fingers in the event of a split burst barrel? I did purchase a leather spring steel handguard a few years back from CSMC, but have never used it. I typically just use leather gloves for hunting and shooting.
