I am going to guess you never shot a round of trap on a very hot day, trap doubles or a short squad is even worse. The barrels will give you a 2nd degree burn in a second under those conditions.

I must hold the forend wrong or something. I don't really touch the barrels, the splinter just rests in my grip.

Last August i shot a full 4 rounds of skeet with my 3 frame, it was plenty warm that day.

The time between shots is far faster on a trap field than it is on a skeet field. There is no comparison between those two games for heating up the barrels.
