Taccom 16” ULW Barrel ?

[mitommy]

I have installed a Taccom 16” ULW Barrel and a 15” handguard. That leaves about 1” of barrel sticking out past the handguard. I plan to shoot some matched that will require PCC and shotgun. I’m concerned about how the end of the barrel will hold up when I have to dump the PCC to transition to the SG. I was thinking of adding something to the end of the barrel to take the beating. What i had in mind is a PVC cap, with the center cut out to the ID of the barrel. 

Is my concern to protect the (aluminum) end of the barrel valid, or do you think it will hold up ok?

  

Does the end of that barrel get to hot for PVC?  

 

Does anybody have any other thoughts / ideas?

Shot one for several years in USPSA & UML 3-gun dumping it many times. If you are talking about the pinned aluminum housing it will not be a problem. No damage after thousands of rounds and many matches.

It's not an issue.

that’s exactly what i was concerned about. Thanks for the reassurance.

I had even painted the tube and other than a few chips at the very end nothing.
