Manners stock question

[yej0001]

I hope this is the rifle forum to post this question. Some newer versions of manners stocks have webbing surface as opposed to smooth surface. Is it an additional layer of carbon fiber they added, or a special paint? Does it further strengthen the stock body?

Those are the Elite models with the added carbon fiber. It is not paint, but I can’t comment on increases in strength or rigidity. I would imagine it cannot hurt either of those areas.
