Hi, drillbitz11....
I'd stay away from trying to bore that tiny lip from inside - it's too close to the lens and since it's press-fit, finding a replacement would not be easy... but even if it succeed, the bored lip would be shiny bare alu - would create some rainbow effects in the beam, probably...
To properly execute it, the best approach would be to punch the lens out, bore the lip, cover with non-reflective surface then press-fit replacement lens in it's place... but that beats the whole purpose of the drop-in module, honestly...
It's a minor gain, honestly - although that lost percentage might sound a lot to some, the idea is to keep M1 ready for it's stock setup, pull eMt1 and re-fit with original IR module...
EDIT:
Thanks everybody for nice words (Str8stroke, Tobrien, hakyru, greatscoot)...
