Not all are made equal, some 'carbon' stocks have a carbon frame underneath and have an outer of hard resin/epoxy. I have had three stocks like this made by PSE composites of Ireland and they were great in terms of both product and aftercare (all of mine were bought used, and the one which I sold on after a full repair had been seriously mucked up by the previous owner).

Technically, wood is 50% carbon so you can heat up your wood stock a bit to make it 100% carbon.
