As good as it looks I have questions. Like is this more of just an aesthetic? Does it actually provide a better use? Are the slots in the front going to work as a compensator? If so, would adding a mod actually be useful? @M0ist0ne is actually working on a CNC hand guard, so would this be able to work together with his set up?

Looks good - I guess the venting is a sign that this is not an active shroud? I would love to see a shroud that could be used to decrease the report a bit. Is this just bling is my question... I would only be temped if it could provide volume to a suppressor

That would be nice, but would likely have to change the entire design of the barrel cover/shroud.

someone in here has tried that by modifying the original shroud and kindly documented it , but i can't find it now. =(

yes, exactly.
i don't know why anyone who produces an extra shroud,
does not take the idea of using it to 'moderate' the report into account.
missed oppertunity, it seems.

Here's a functioning carbon fiber shroud and integrated LDC. It's much quieter than stock but not as quiet as the double stack 6-in oval moderator that screws on the barrel. But this option is a lot lighter and in my opinion balances better than having a hundred gram 6-in oval sticking off the end of the muscle.

Aquí hay una cubierta de fibra de carbono funcional y un LDC integrado. Es mucho más silencioso que el de serie, pero no tanto como el moderador ovalado de 6 pulgadas de doble pila que se atornilla al cañón. Pero esta opción es mucho más liviana y, en mi opinión, se equilibra mejor que tener un moderador ovalado de 6 pulgadas de cien gramos que sobresale del extremo del músculo.

Muy bonita, ahora imagino que el cañón está flotante y no tensado como de origen, ¿no ha notado nada respecto a la precisión?
Saludos.
 
The barrel has a small amount of tension. It can't be too much as threads are printed plastic and even if metal the CF tube may collapse. I don't know how well it shoots yet. No sights I'm waiting for my red dot mount. Besides I'm not a great shot if the groups at 2 times worst than the best I have seen that is way beyond my abilities.
