That sounds great StoneHendge. I changed the thread title based on your recommended description.
With the intent to ventilate the carbon fiber, it's possible they shot themselves in the foot with carbon surface area purchase to the OD of the barrel.
When dealing with two different materials that get thermally loaded in a short period of time, coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction are very difficult to mitigate consistently for desired behavior that is more reasonable in a single material type.
I'm not sure the holes are helping out here, but that's just speculation on my part.
