Gen II CRB barrel shroud question

Hi there, I'm a new guy here. I just picked up a new Gen II CRB 9mm carbine after reading the valuable info from this forum! I hope to take her out for a spin this weekend. Yes it is front end weighted (as already posted by other members here) so I am just wondering if the barrel shroud can be lightened with cut slots. Has this been done? (Don't know how much can be reduced without putting it on a scale since the set screw in mine is solidly stuck in place with red loc-tite and not moving with simple butane lighter heat)

Thanks!

Hello!  I can't say on the Gen II, but KRISS did offer variants of the Gen I round/tube shroud that had angled cuts and another with uniform holes in it.  I think it was more for looks than weight reduction.

Thanks! I did see that post. The weight reduction I'm thinking is much more drastic. I won't do anything with it until the gun is proofed to be 100%. It only got 100 rds or so down range.
