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

Kimber's ones seem like you could use them as a club if needed
Iv got some damage to the forend on one of mine and it just seems to have chipped on a rock or similar when the previous owner had it
Just took a chunk out.
It must help having an outside coating and fill inside to prevent the carbon weave taking damage
Both make the stock heavier tho and clearcoat when you can see the carbon underneath looks fantastic
Everything is a compromise
