Gunsmithing Anyone ever cut into a manners carbon stock?

[DODGER03]

I've got a manners cs2 elite and just not digging the fat forearm rest. Wondering if anyone's ever grinded into one of these and then polished it back out. I just wanted to trip the sides down flat and make it similar to the regular cs thickness, but didn't know if it was carbon all the way through. Here is a pic of the rifle. This was just an idea. Don't really see myself cutting into a 1000 dollar stock lol

The carbon shell is where the strength is, it got cut it away your stock will be significantly weakened. As well as the fill is very porous and wont be smooth.

Perfect reply bud. Thats exactly what I was wondering if the carbon fiber would be smooth.

Carbon doesn't cut like fiberglass. Cut into it at your own peril.

Ya I don't plan on doing it. It was just a thought

Im gonna start a new build for a truck gun and that would fit the bill nicely.
