[QUOTE="Stocky, post: 432843, member: 17019"] Stocky here .... In the 2 1/2 years we've been carrying them I have never seen one warp. The weakest spot FYI would be the magazine box area as there's no way to add carbon fiber there. For this reason I'd rate a laminate as more warp resistant theoretically, but I have not seen any stock warp under the reciever so my guess is it's a moot point. The main reason the carbon is added is for warp resistance. Second reason is for beauty ... somewhat less expensive to find better figure in the thinner wood blanks so you get a far nicer stock for the money. If that was the only reason however we would not bother with the carbon fiber and save that material ($50/yd.), labor and mess ... Hope that helps ... Don [/QUOTE]
