Kriss USA now offers updated, hand-friendly and good-looking barrel shroud for the Vector Carbine that looks more than a little like the SilencerCo Osprey scaled up, and has also developed a Canada-friendly version of the CRB carbine with an extended barrel.
The new barrel shrouds are compatible with Gen I and Gen II Vector CRB rifles with 16-inch barrels and make the carbines easier and safer to handle. They’re priced at $129
The squared shape of the barrel shroud is mostly for looks although it will make it easier to shoot off barricades and other straight-edged surfaces. Kriss recommends that buyers use Loctite 263 or another high-heat fastening compound when installing the replacement barrel shroud.
The Vector carbine is chambered for .45 ACP and feeds from Glock-pattern magazines. An avant-garde design, the Vector uses a delayed-blowback bolt that’s articulated and travels downward behind the magazine. In addition to reducing the spring tension and bolt weight required for the blowback operation, it also creates a downward recoil impulse as the muzzle rises, making it a very flat-shooting rifle with low felt recoil, especially for a pistol-caliber carbine.
