The real crime is the Non-Restricted vs Restricted laws. A firearm is a firearm. Let us take it out to the woods, regardless of barrel length. Ugh!
Anyway... about the shroud:
I am absolutely removing the shroud. I'd rather see a dinky barrel out front especially if it feels lighter.
But in fairness to the KRISS team, the new shroud looks nicer than the old shroud.
I can hardly wait.
